The former chancellor said he warned her: ‘You will have two months if you carry on like this’
Kwasi Kwarteng has blamed Liz Truss for going too fast with her economic agenda and says he warned her she would be thrown out if she carried on.
The former chancellor says he told Ms Truss to “slow down” and take a “methodical and strategic approach” to growing the economy.
He claims the former prime minister rejected his pleas and that he was forced to warn her “you will have two months if you carry on like this”. She managed 44 days.
Speaking to TalkTV, Mr Kwarteng said the prime minister – who describes him as one of her closest friends and supporters – had been “distressed and emotional” when she sacked him.
