It’s just one more snub for Liz Truss, who resigned as UK Prime Minister on Thursday. the daily star calmly pronounced the victory of his lettuce in the botanical duel that the tabloid had installed last Friday, in a direct video on YouTube, between the salad and the British Prime Minister.
“Daily Star lettuce celebrates victory as Prime Minister Liz Truss resigns,” reads the newspaper’s website.
A victory celebrated under the strobe lights
Between the abandonment of her economic program, an internal revolt and successive reorganizations, Liz Truss has continued to go from one slump to another in recent days.
To the point that the daily star He posted online last Friday a video recording, continuous and live, seeking to know which of the heads of government and the plant would survive the other. The expiration date of the lettuce was set at ten days. To pass this threshold, Liz Truss would have had to remain in power beyond the weekend.
So failed. Recording the defeat of the Prime Minister in this curious confrontation, the daily star has slightly revamped the scenery for his video, putting a big smile on the lettuce and lighting up festive strobe lights. In the background, the broadcast of a remix of Celebration of Kool & The Gang redoubled the disco atmosphere since the formalization of the resignation.
Installed on September 6 and expelled this Thursday, October 20, by her own Conservative Party, Liz Truss will only have kept her leadership only 44 days. This is by far the shortest lease in the annals of 10 Downing Street.
Until now, the shortest British Prime Minister in history had been George Canning, who had served for just 118 days in 1827. It was his sudden death that put an end to all that.
