‘Destination: Anywhere’: Ryanair jokes about Liz Truss’s resignation

The airline tweeted a fake boarding pass in the name of Liz Truss to mock the British prime minister’s departure after just six weeks in office.

Barely six weeks after arriving at 10 Downing Street, Liz Truss leaves. The British Prime Minister, more unpopular than ever in British opinion, announced her resignation on Thursday. The ephemeral head of government of the United Kingdom had to resign from her position after being forced to give up almost all of her economic program in the face of the economic downturn and the cost of living crisis on the other side of the Channel.

An opportunity for Ryanair to joke about the departure of Liz Truss and her brief tenure as head of the British government. In a tweet published this Thursday afternoon, the Irish airline low cost published a false boarding pass in the name of the future former prime minister, whose successor will be appointed at the end of the month by the Conservative Party. With London-Gatwick as the departure airport and… “anywhere” as the arrival airport.

Pound sterling

An additional joke: if you scan the QR code on the boarding pass, the link sends you to the Google page where you can follow the course of the pound sterling against the euro. A way to remember the sharp drop in the British pound. The British currency had fallen to an all-time low in late September after a disastrous budget presentation by former Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng.
