Who is new UK chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng?

Married to solicitor Harriet Edwards with one daughterMr Kwarteng's parents came to the UK from Ghana as students in the 1960s.His economist father and barrister mother gave him a traditional Ashanti first name, meaning "born on Sunday", when he was actually born on a Monday. He told the BBC'shis parents stayed silent on the matter when he jokingly pulled them up on it.

He was part of the Cambridge team which won University Challenge in 1995, although he generated headlines for uttering a swearword after he buzzed in and forgot the answer to a question.Kwasi Kwarteng appeared in the winning team for Trinity College, Cambridge, on University Challenge in 1994-95 He worked as a columnist for the Daily Telegraph and a financial analyst at banks including JP Morgan in the City of London and got involved in Conservative politics as chairman of the Bow Group think tank.

"They have not once accepted any blame for what happened and they seem to think that we can just sail on as before," he said, also setting out the view that "wealth creation is the most important element in getting us out of this recession".Although Mr Kwarteng was tipped to become the Conservatives' first black cabinet member as early as 2006, he spent eight years as a constituency MP before he became a minister.

Mr Kwarteng also co-authored the book Britannia Unchained with several Tory MPs, including Liz Truss. In the 2012 text, they claimed: "Once they enter the workplace, the British are among the worst idlers in the world." The ascent has been described as a "reward" for his backing of Boris Johnson during the race for party leadership.
