23:17 GMT 20.10.2022 (Updated: 15:24 GMT 28.05.2023) UK Prime Minister Liz Truss threw in the towel Thursday after acknowledging the near-total collapse of support among her party members. The official spent just 44 days in the top job.
Liz Truss' undoing came after a disastrous budget, fracking vote, the departure of Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng and Home Secretary Suella Braverman but the cherry on top turned out to be that a Tesco-bought ball of lettuce outlasted her reign.
