UK Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng sacked by British Prime Minister

UK Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng has been sacked just 38 days into the job by UK Prime Minister Liz Truss.

In a letter to the Prime Minister, Mr Kwarteng said, “we've been colleagues and friends for many years. In that time, I have seen your dedication and determination. I believe your vision is the right one. It has been an honour to serve as your first chancellor”.

Mr Kwarteng is the second shortest-serving chancellor on record.

Jeremy Hunt has been appointed to the position.

"UK Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng sacked by British Prime Minister" lol...i like this phrasing, normally there's no need to add "British" in front of the "Prime Minister", since it's established by the first part of the sentence. Unless it's to point something else out of course.
