If spinach can send emails, surely lettuce can be the prime minister, I'm just throwing that out there.

Just can't even keep up and I have a politics lesson tomorrow, so I'm just reading through politics live because I can't write all of this down anymore

Literally, I was talking to my teacher IN A LESSON and we were discussing whether Liz or the lettuce was going to win (we both said lettuce and guess what?) but how have we got here. The rest of the world must be absolutely fucking laughing/crying. Or not paying attention and I wish I could.

Hi sorry confused American. Is lettuce the name of a person and y'all are just riffing on it or. Was there an actual head of normal lettuce somewhere

Hello confused American. Don't worry, we're confused too. It's been a very strange 45 days.

The story here is that the screenshot below was from an article about our former Prime Minister Liz Truss in the Economist dated Oct 11th 2022:

People took the "shelf-life of a lettuce" remark and ran with it, to the point where the Daily Star (one of our tabloids) set up a livestream where they continuously filmed a lettuce next to a photo of Liz Truss to see which would expire first. You can find the whole livestream here:

As far as I know the lettuce started livestreaming on the 14th Oct and as you can see the lettuce did indeed outlast Truss, as she resigned this afternoon at 1.30pm. They played the national anthem on the stream after the announcement.

As an aside, the original Economist article now has this editor's note at the beginning:

No writers room can match the absolute joke that is the political landscape of the UK in recent years. Like who cares for reality shows when this chaotic shitshow exists?
