The DCMS is led by Wigan, MP, Lisa Nandy, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.

Sir Chris Bryant becomes Minister for Creative Industries, Arts and Tourism, although he won’t be Tweeting about it:

The ordained priest, first became an MP in 1993 until 1998, then he was named Head of European Affairs for the BBC. Elected to Parliament in 2001 he’s held a number of roles including Deputy Leader of the House of Commons from 2008 to 2009 and Shadow Culture Secretary in 2015.

More recently he was Chair of the House of Commons Committees of Standards and Privileges from 2020 to 2023 and a Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee from 2017 to 2023. 

The new Minister for Sport, Media, Civil Society and Youth is Barnsley MP, Stephanie Peacock. An MP since 2017, she was a member of the Opposition Whips Office, Shadow Cabinet Office Minister, Shadow Environment Minister and a Shadow Defence Minister.

She’s also plays for the Women’s Parliamentary Football Team.

She is Tweeting about it:

Her role covers sport, media, civil society, youth and gambling – in the House of Commons.

Finally, Baroness Twycross will be Minister for Gambling and Lords Minister. That will mean responsibility for DCMS business in the House of Lords.

That sadly means no ministerial role for Hacker T Dog.
