British Prime Minister Liz Truss fired her finance minister, Kwasi Kwarteng, on Friday, shortly before she is expected to scrap parts of the government's economic package.

Thomson ReutersBritish Prime Minister Liz Truss is seen here at the annual Conservative Party conference in Birmingham on Oct. 2.

Kwarteng said he had resigned at Truss's request after rushing back to London overnight from IMF meetings in Washington. Truss, in power for only 37 days, will hold a news conference later on Friday, Downing Street confirmed. British government bonds rallied further ahead of Truss's statement, adding to their partial recovery since her government started looking for ways to balance the books after her unfunded tax cuts crushed U.K. asset values and drew international censure.

Another politician who has a clue what she’s doing.

Who are these hypocritical Tories with ties to the WEF?

this is what you get when cabinet members of the leader that was booted out get put in as the new leader...more of the same. happens in Canada also. spaikin ChmlBillKelly DonMartinCTV petermansbridge acoyne althiaraj ChantalHbert

Canada should do the same. Send the Nazi princess packing.

Shouldn't be PM. She doesn't know what she is doing.

Useless, unelected, perfect example of 'democracy'.

You're Welcome

🤣🤡

U turn if you want to, but the lady is not for turning. I hated Thatcher but she had some great quotes.

A feminie Hitler is coming up!

There’s no truss large enough to contain Britain’s economic hernia.

wamyn be leadin' countries this is so embarrassing. she did something everyone advised her not to do. she did it anyway. claimed the criticism was 'sexist'. then everything ppl warned about happened (bad things), so now the wamyn throws the black guy overboard. amazing! LOL.

She’s on her way out. She won’t be the PM of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland at Christmas. Boris was awful but THIS… was incompetence on steroids 😝
