LIVE, LAUGH, LETTUCE
The Best Reactions From Outgoing British Prime Minister Liz Truss's 45 Days In Office
British Prime Minister Liz Truss resigned on Thursday October 20, 2022, after saying she couldn't "deliver the mandate." Truss began her six-week stint by saying she'd lower taxes and help kickstart economic growth in the country, but newly appointed — and now dismissed — Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng's policies put forth in a September 2022 mini-budget were not received well.
After clearing office in less than two months, Truss is now the undisputed shortest serving Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. It should also come as no surprise that the world joined UK Twitter to celebrate her departure from office. And yes, the lettuce did win.
Liz Truss came into office, killed the queen, destroyed the Pound and the British economy, and then quit. I think we need to face the possiblity that she might have been an Irish sleeper agent.

Liz Truss’s reign spanned over two monarchs. Remarkable, how many Prime Minsters since WWII achieved that?

Whether it’s Donald Trump carting away boxes of highly-classified nuclear secrets or Liz Truss keeping her box of freshly-printed business cards, global leaders have long cherished mementos from their time in office.

Truss should sum up her time in office by leaving number 10 in a carpool karaoke
