The Labour MP for Hove, Peter Kyle, was promoted to Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary in a cabinet reshuffle yesterday.

He's been promoted from his former position of Shadow Schools Minister and is replacing Louise Haigh who'll now become Shadow Transport Secretary.

Yvette Cooper has been made Shadow Home Secretary.

Mr Kyle has been MP for Hove since he was elected in 2015. He grew up in West Sussex and moved to Brighton and Hove in 1996. He has a doctorate from Sussex University.

He has previously worked in Eastern Europe and the Balkans as an aid worker, helping young people affected by political instability and war.

In April 2020 he became the Shadow Minister For Victims and Youth Justice, campaigning against such issues as 'sex for rent'.

He was only Shadow Schools Minister for seven months before yesterday's reshuffle. His latest position is his third since he joined Labour's front bench.
