Not quite correct.
The period from Mr Sunak taking office as Chancellor to Mr Hunt leaving it was four years and five months. Of those 53 months, Mr Sunak remained in office for 14 months and Mr Hunt (whose term was ended by the General Election) 21 months.
""No longer mistress of all she surveys, no longer empress of the horizon, Rachel Reeves crouched on the Commons front bench with a knot of her closest supporters. Six fretful souls at a bus stop. There had been more of them near the start of her parliamentary statement. The likes of Angela Rayner and Wes Streeting had swept into the chamber for that, albeit late. A brief flaring of energy. A few perfunctory cheers. Then scorn and laughter at a Tory opposition that hammed it up with talk of Shakespearean tragedy. Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride even called Ms Reeves's trouble-dodging China trip 'the Peking duck'. The sauce of the man. Ms Reeves chested this incoming surf. She managed not to sink below the breakers. When you have a big parliamentary majority you can use it as covering-fire. In parliamentary politics, the physical presence and noise of a majority has value. But as the Chancellor sat there for 55 minutes, listening to questions and bawling her staccato, adenoidal, inchoate answers, she was a bag of tics and odd expressions. At times she attempted butch aggression, yanking her jaw to one side and pushing forward her chin. She did that when spitting a retort to Harriett Baldwin (Con, West Worcs). Ms Reeves's voice occasionally bordered baritone, it was so deep. At other points in the lunchtime exchanges she essayed breezy nonchalance – look at me, am I bovvered? This play for carefreeness was undone by her rapid blinking which caught a stray strand of her fringe. Genuinely cool customers keep their eyes open. She was looking more like Benny Hill. Believing that she was out of trouble, she tried to smile. Aieee. It only made her look airsick. If flight attendants en route from Beijing had seen her looking like that, one of those small paper bags might have been proffered. Maybe double-bag it to stop any leakage. For a senior politician she is amazingly bad at acting. Not much good at economics either, arguably.""
