The Daily Star will buy a lettuce from Tescos at 9am today 14/10/22, stick it in front of a live 24/7 camera feed to see if it lasts longer than Liz Truss' stay in office. Odds are currently 6/1 that the lettuce will win.
Has our countries politics descended so low? I'm thinking that No 10 will hope the views don't exceed a million.
Its on YouTube somewhere.

Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?
The slugs will gather round the lettuce and appear to defend it, but when they realise that the lettuce is rotting from the inside, they'll start eating it.
They took the opening paragraph from The Economist's leader and ran with it, definitely the true spirit of the tabloids is the Star these days:
The Economist paragraph:
"Liz truss has already secured her place in British political history. However long she now lasts in office, she is set to be remembered as the prime minister whose grip on power was the shortest. Ms Truss entered Downing Street on September 6th. She blew up her own government with a package of unfunded tax cuts and energy-price guarantees on September 23rd. Take away the ten days of mourning after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and she had seven days in control. That is roughly the shelf-life of a lettuce."
As it rots its natural immune system won’t be able to respond to stop bacteria from gorging on it, multiplying quickly as fungi overpowers its weakened defences. Never stopping, altering the foods textures changing the taste. Chemical overload, it tastes rancid, spoilt forever a victim of its own weakness.
Could either be the decomposition of a lettuce or a Tory leadership battle.
