On Oct. 14, U.K. tabloid paper the Daily Star started a YouTube livestream showing a head of lettuce on one side and a picture of Truss on the other. It asked a basic concern in the description: “Will Liz Truss still be Prime Minister within the 10 day shelf-life of a lettuce?”
On Day 7 , at 1: 37 p.m. U.K. time, a hand appeared in the frame, slamming Truss’ picture face down on the table as “God Save The King” roared in the background. Thursday was a day of event for the lettuce, which used a blonde wig, a crown, googly eyes and a mouth and stood with cheerful conviction next to a glass of prosecco.
The 47-year-old Conservative Party leader lasted simply 45 days in workplace. She had changed Boris Johnson, who resigned over the summerseason after installing scandals.
