YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

US comedian Jon Stewart comments on Liz Truss sacking Kwasi Kwarteng as Chancellor.

Kwasi Kwarteng is out after just six weeks as Chancellor. The Prime Minister, Liz Truss, replaced him with Jeremy Hunt after the Conservative "mini" budget resulted in a crash in the value of the pound and an increase in interest rates.

Jon Stewart was speaking to Armando Iannucci and Anoosh Chakelian for an episode of the hit podcast 'Westminster Reimagined', shortly after the news broke.

Jon Stewart is best known as the creator and former host of The Daily Show, and now hosts "The Problem with Jon Stewart" on Apple TV.
