On October 14, the British tabloid
Daily Star
launched a YouTube live that featured a lettuce with the headline:
"LIVE: Can This Lettuce Last Longer Than Liz Truss?"
The idea was born because the
Economist
magazine , in an article of 11 October, had written that, after the ten days of national mourning for the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom had really managed the political situation to only 7 days, “more or less the time you can store a lettuce in a supermarket”.
Thousands of onlookers, after
the irreverent question of the tabloid s
i were connected to the direct, where in the meantime the
lettuce
had been enriched by a
blonde wig, sunglasses, hands and feet of plastic.
Today, six weeks after taking office at Truss, and after some of her political proposals were considered negative for the British economy, the first British minister resigned:
lettuce won the challenge.
No other prime minister in UK history had been in office for such a short time.
It is not yet clear who will replace her, but in the UK, the head of the majority party automatically becomes the Prime Minister.
