Liz Truss Fought the Lettuce, and the Lettuce Won

When it comes to memes, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
 
On Thursday, Liz Truss said that she would resign as British prime minister after just 45 days in office. Creating a history of being the shortest Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. 
 
A wilting 60p iceberg lettuce from Tesco in a blond wig has been crowned the winner of a bizarre competition after outlasting Liz Truss’s tenuous grip on power. Seven days ago, the Daily Star set up a webcam on the lettuce to see if it would have a longer shelf-life than the prime minister. To add to Truss’s humiliating resignation, the lettuce won. As Truss made her resignation statement, those viewing the video on YouTube soared to more than 20,000.
 
Netizens took no time in making fun out of her resignation and flooded Twitter with memes.
