Liz Truss Resigns, Lettuce Wins
Headline: Lettuce Wins as Liz Leafs
Lettuce Rejoice, Bookmaker Paddy Power Offered Odds of 500-to-1
In a bizarre turn of events, a days-old head of lettuce has become a caricature of Prime Minister Liz Truss's tenuous grip on power in Britain.
The Daily Star launched a Livestream on October 20th, 2022, titled "Lettuce Wins as Liz Leafs," pitting a lettuce against Truss, who had just resigned. The lettuce outlasted Truss, leading to a historic souvenir edition headline on October 21st, "Lettuce Rejoice."
The lettuce's victory highlights the widespread discontent with Truss's short-lived tenure as Prime Minister. Bookmaker Paddy Power even offered odds of 500-to-1 that the lettuce would become the next prime minister, a testament to the absurdity of the situation.
