schema:text	What was claimed A letter sent by Prime Minister Liz Truss to Kwasi Kwarteng is actually signed by Kwarteng himself. Our verdict Mr Kwarteng’s name does appear below Ms Truss’s signature, but this appears to be the convention for such letters. A letter sent by Prime Minister Liz Truss to Kwasi Kwarteng is actually signed by Kwarteng himself. Mr Kwarteng’s name does appear below Ms Truss’s signature, but this appears to be the convention for such letters. Following Kwasi Kwarteng’s sacking as Chancellor of the Exchequer, a number of journalists and political commentators claimed that the Prime Minister Liz Truss’s letter to Mr Kwarteng had mistakenly been signed by Mr Kwarteng, or included his name underneath Ms Truss’s signature. It’s true that “The Right Honourable Kwasi Kwarteng MP” appears below the Prime Minister’s signature, rather than her own title, as might be expected. However, this follows the same format as other similar official letters written by other Prime Ministers. For example, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s letter accepting the resignation of his own chancellor, Rishi Sunak on 5 July 2022 also featured Mr Sunak’s name underneath Mr Johnson’s signature. Mr Johnson’s letter accepting the resignation of Sajid Javid as health secretary also followed the same format. Although it’s worth noting that in all these examples, the letters of resignation themselves do not. As for the signature itself, this is Ms Truss’s, as shown in other letters she has signed, and not Mr Kwarteng’s, as appears on his own letter of resignation. While this has since been clarified, similar claims have been circulating on Facebook.
