As Britain's new Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng delivers a historic mini-budget, what's behind the man whose decisions will affect us all? From Eton to Trinity College, Cambridge and even appearing on University Challenge in 1995, clues can be found in how Kwasi Kwarteng thinks. Drawing inspiration from prominent economist John Maynard Keynes, and his analogy of a Chancellor as a chess player preventing opponents from going a few moves ahead. Newsnight's Political Editor Nick Watt investigates what makes him tick and speaks to Conservative MP George Freeman, Dame Margaret Hodge and friends from Kwarteng's university days.

Kwasi in cloud cuckoo land!
What drives him? Utter incompetence? Staggering ignorance? Mindless greed?
LOL
My mortgage payments have doubled because of this imbeciles stupidity, greed and arrogance. In Tudor times HVIII would have him beheaded. In these Tory times he’ll be made a lord. Kamikwasi economics.
Neither a borrower or a lender be any one know were that came from.
For what he said about the West Indians and the Windrush scandal. I for one am glad he got fired
What a complete joke of a minister
kwatang is 😀😂😀😂
Dame Margeret Hodge called him for what he is
Too many dark faces in parliament and the BBC
This hasn't aged well. And his degree was in hospitality management.
Kwasi, summed up. Intellectuals often make some of the worst policy and decision makers. I've spoken 😄
Kwasi kwarteng has the guile of a Mississippi gambler who devalued the pound. Was the party after or before the economic car crash in which many mortgages increased.
Well that didn’t age well
Don't even no him
Did not last long did he. Useless shower.
Nice to see this shit bag lost his job.
Why dont they just say he is a bloody amateur! as the BBC would not diverge from Truss and Kangeroo as there all neoliberalism followers are supported by the hedge funds and their guest think tank speakers
He will just dissappear in to the background with his payoffs. 👋
Dame Margaret Hodge said precisely correct about K. Kawteng.
UK is not for him to play his ideal
