Oct. 10 (UPI) -- British Prime Minister Liz Truss rejected Antonia Romeo to take over as the country's permanent treasury secretary on Monday.
Romeo was favored by Truss' Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng for the tole and the two had initially been on the same page about the current head of the Justice ministry, going as far as appointing her to the role last week. Truss, though, has apparently done an about-face to appoint James Bowler, who leads the Department of International Trade.
