In November 2020 I was told I had 6 months left to live and was at risk of sudden death, due to a colloid cyst in my brain.
Nick Gibb gets expanded brief in DfE reshuffle
Nick Gibb has been given an expanded ministerial brief as the Minister of State for School Standards following a Department for Education (DfE) reshuffle.
The DfE has now formalised its ministerial team following the appointment of Theresa May as Prime Minister, who quickly axed then Education Secretary Nicky Morgan and replaced her with Justine Greening.
It was thought that Gibb could also be removed from the department, as he was a close ally of Morgan and backed Michael Gove in the leadership election, but Gibb confirmed in a tweet on 17 July that he had been re-appointed to the DfE.
Delighted to be re-appointed to the DfE. Passionate about continuing the drive to improve academic standards in schools. #phonics
