British Prime Minister Liz Truss has vowed to lead her party to the next general election but there is speculation she could be moved on long before she gets that chance.
Britain's Daily Star newspaper has asked if Ms Truss will outlive a lettuce, running a video live stream to watch it decompose in real time. There are five days left before the lettuce outlasts its shelf life — the bet being that's longer than the time until Ms Truss either steps down, or is ousted by her own party. Why is Truss in peril? Ms Truss has backtracked on nearly all tax cuts pitched in her disastrous mini-budget — a U-turn she left to her new chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, to announce. Former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng recently got the chop, and there is pressure from within her party that she follow him.

As a vegetarian, I find this mocking of lettuce (and by extension, herbaceous foods in general) to be triggering my trauma.

I don't eat beef. No message here, I just made that decision. 15 years ago. Lots of bad fast food is off the menu, lots of the good stuff too sadly, passed my poo test recently too, when they sent it to me when I turned 50.

Better still, give her citizenship here and she can be our PM. I'd watch Parliament every day on ABC to listen to her

Latest news is the Lettuce is running for the leadership of an alternate party.
Previously, they had the Iron Maiden, and apparently the Lettuce wants to be remembered as the Ice Berg. Clearly a candidate for the Greens, if she turns over a new leaf. Won't be long before it too gets the chop.

And she gets a £115,000 ex PM allowance for the rest of her life
How does it compare with the Rudd, Gillard, Rudd, Abbott, Turnbull, Morrison era?
