Thousands tuned in to follow the progress of the lettuce–styled with googly eyes and a blonde wig — next to a framed photo of Ms Truss.
The live stream was some light relief from the political turmoil and economic chaos that lead many to believe that Ms Truss’s time as leader was numbered.
And just six days later, the results are in: the Daily Star’s lettuce has indeed outlasted Ms Truss’s time as Prime Minister.
To celebrate the moment, the lettuce’s cup of tea and Greggs sausage roll were replaced with bottles of wine and gin.
Social media users were quick to hop on the joke and Twitter was soon flooded with memes.
Author James Felton wrote: “The lettuce”, and shared a meme of a man saying “aagh, call an ambulance” before turning a gun on his opponent and declaring: “But not for me.”
Author Aaron Gillies said: “Braverman lost to tofu, Truss lost to a lettuce, vegans having an amazing week tbf.”
