Catherine McKinnell has replaced Stephen Morgan as shadow schools minister in Labour’s reshuffle.
The party made the announcement on X, formerly known as Twitter. It is not yet clear whether Morgan has been given another role on the front bench.
A former shadow children’s minister and member of the Parliamentary education committee, McKinnell has been MP for Newcastle North since 2010.
McKinnell said she was “absolutely delighted to be joining Labour’s frontbench as shadow schools minister and working with Bridget Phillipson and the education team”.
