Liz Truss resigned on Thursday after only 45 days in office.

From 10 Downing Street being available for rent on Airbnb for short stays to a revolving door being fitted at the official residence of the UK’s Prime Minister, Twitter has been flooded with memes after Liz Truss resigned as Britain’s Prime Minister after less than six weeks in office.

Truss resigned on Thursday, October 20, after only 45 days in office, making her the UK’s shortest-serving Prime Minister. Her resignation has triggered a meme fest on social media with netizens comparing her reign in office to a lot of things that outlasted her. A British newspaper had even started a livestream on October 14 to see if lettuce could last longer than the PM. The lettuce has been declared the winner, it seems.
