Kwasi Kwarteng has hit out at Liz Truss calling her decision to sack him as Chancellor of the Exchequer "mad" during the final days of her premiership.
The Tory MP told the then Prime Minister she would be out of Downing Street within "three or four weeks" of removing him as Chancellor.
Speaking publicly for the first time since his sacking, Kwarteng told TalkTV of his thinking when she fired him: "This is mad. Prime Ministers don't get rid of Chancellors. I think I said to her at the time: 'This is going to last three or four weeks'. Little did I know it was only going to be six days."
