The funniest memes about Liz Truss and her brief term as British PM
Liz Truss resigned as Prime Minister after 44 days in office, making her the shortest-serving Prime Minister. We have put together the funniest memes and shocking facts about Truss' time as PM from social media.
Truss never seemed to have stood any chance of survival. She encouraged uproar as she presented her 'mini budget' and never fully recovered from the backlash. The internet loved it.
The situation is not great for British politics and people, but at least they can laugh about it for a bit. The Liz Truss situation has given rise to some of the best memes.
By the way, what's burning in the background is the UK.
The Daily Star had a live video feed showing a photo of Liz Truss next to a lettuce. The concept was to see who could last the longest... the PM or the vegetable. The lettuce won, and it put on disco lights to celebrate.

Don't worry, Liz. The image of Inbetweeners star James Buckley fronts a meme captioned 'don't worry about it mate'. At least the title of Prime Minister can be ticked off the bucket list.
