Liz Truss has resigned as Prime Minister of the UK, making her 44-day tenure the shortest in the country’s history. This non-shocking announcement comes on the same day the co-author of a forthcoming biography of Truss tweeted about his book’s pub date:

Yup, it’s called Out of the Blue: The Inside Story of Liz Truss and Her Astonishing Rise to Power. Lol. Also, ouch.
Truss’s shambolic premiership is already the subject of thousands of jokes, one of which was made by opposition leader Keir Starmer yesterday in the House of Commons, who has never been this funny in his life, and never will be again:
If it weren’t all so disastrous for millions of lives, I’d say British politics is even more entertaining than the current American circus!
