Morgan was re-elected as the MP for Portsmouth South in the general election.

While the DfE has yet to officially confirm ministerial briefs and responsibilities for individual ministers, in a post on X, Morgan looks likely to take on responsibility for early years, although Nursery World has as yet been unable to confirm this officially.

Morgan said, ‘Every child deserves to get the best start in life. Honoured to be joining @bphillipsonMPs Ministerial team @educationgovuk to deliver better childcare and early education. I can’t wait to get started.’

The DfE subsequently reposted Morgan's tweet.
