BBC is reporting Kwasi Kwarteng has been sacked as Chancellor of the Exchequer. His "Mini Budget" was not received too well to put it mildly, even had to do a "Mini" U-turn on the plan to scrap the top rate of income tax. For the record he is a very highly educated and smart man and close to Liz for a long time. Do I blame him for the budget or was he just following the wishes of the PM. Who campaigned on dropping the top tax rate......
Two questions really, is this enough to save Liz Truss as leader of the conservatives and Prime minister or will she be packing her bags and departing number 10 in the next few weeks.
Second question who takes over as Chancellor, I will hazard a guess Jeremy Hunt.

Good bye Kwasi Kwarteng

And the BBC just reported Jeremy Hunt has been appointed the new Chancellor. I am going to make a prediction, he will be the next leader of the party.

He'll get another job no need to worry about him.The rest of us will be paying higher mortgage payment because of his mini budget.
