After a tenureship that will certainly go down as one of the most mind-boggling and perhaps underwhelming in all of history, Liz Truss resigned from her post after just 44 days in office! Her quick resignation makes her the shortest serving Prime Minister in the history of the United Kingdom. After her actions in office led to economic and political crisis, the libertarian, anti-monarchy Liz Truss was effectively forced into a corner after several of her key ministers resigned, and officials across the country hounded at her to take responsibility for her actions. The Daily Star, a British tabloid newspaper, began a livestream on 14th October 2022 as part of a gag in order to see whether a lettuce would outlast Truss’ premiership. And, on the 20th October 2022, she announced her resignation long before the lettuce would wilt, leading to the Daily Star declaring the victory of the lettuce over Truss!
