Nicky Morgan handed a peerage by Prime Minister Boris Johnson

Nicky Morgan has been named as the Culture Secretary in Boris Johnson's cabinet re-shuffle.

Mrs Morgan announced she could not commit to a five-year term as an MP in October and looked forward to being at "home far more" - but is now back in the Cabinet following a post-election mini reshuffle.

Boris Johnson has handed a peerage to Nicky Morgan so she can stay on as culture secretary. 

Nicky Morgan tweeted saying that leaving the cabinet was more difficult than leaving the EU. 

The former Loughborough MP, who announced she was standing down to spend more time with her family, will now remain as a key member in Boris Johnson's cabinet. 

Nicky supported Loughborough MP Jane Hunt on the campaign trail which saw the new MP elected with an increased majority.
