Liz Truss's cabinet is Britain's first without white man in top jobs

Summary by Ground News

New British Prime Minister Liz Truss named her cabinet on Tuesday. For the first time ever there will be no white men in any of the U.K.'s four "Great Offices of State." Truss appointed Kwasi Kwarteng as Britain's first Black finance minister while James Cleverly is the first Black foreign minister. Suella Braverman succeeds Priti Patel as the second ethnic minority home secretary. All three are the children of immigrants. The growing diversity is in part thanks to a push by the Conservative Party to put forward a more varied set of candidates for parliament.
