Things that lasted more than Liz Truss’ time as UK Prime Minister

In a news headline that echoed across the world, Liz Truss has just resigned as UK Prime Minister, bringing a some-45-day tenure to an end after weeks of controversy… here are a few things which lasted longer.

Kim K & Kris Humphries’ marriage

Kim Kardashian’s 72-day marriage to American former professional basketball Kris Humphries outlasted Liz Truss’ Prime Ministership by 28 days. The U.S. influencers’ marriage become a global meme after the couple broke ties only a few weeks after their wedding.

The Tesco Lettuce

Initially erected as a caricature of Truss herself, a Tesco-purchased head of lettuce costing 68 cents became the stuff of national interest after UK newspaper The Daily Star asked whether it would actually manage to outlast Liz Truss as UK PM… well, there you have it.

Boris Johnson

After his dramatic hasta la vista exit, Boris Johnson’s term as UK Prime Minister became one of the shortest in modern history. In between shocking statements and utterings of absolute nonsense, Johnson’s tenure was definitely memorable, but Truss’ time truly topped it. What’s more is that many are calling for Johnson’s return to the Prime Minister seat.

A Nokia 3310’s battery life

Everyone knows that this iconic phone’s endurance is the stuff of legend and whether it’s being thrown down a few floors or left untouched for days, we’re sure it can go the distance. You think Liz Truss faced difficult situations, imagine this phone in the 2000s.

A carton of long-life milk

If preserved in decent temperatures, an unopened carton of long-life milk can have a shelf life of between six and nine months. Of course, the conditions of your kitchen cupboard are much less distressing than the UK’s socioeconomic status at the moment, but we’re fairly certain that it would last more than 45 days.

What else do you know lasted longer?
