UK finance minister Kwasi Kwarteng was fired from his post on Friday (October 14) only weeks into the job, making him Britain's second shortest serving Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Kwarteng served for 38 days in the job; Tory Chancellor Ian Macleod had served for 30 days in 1970 before he died after a heart attack.
