Fast food workers remain longer at their jobs than Liz!

[DahVoozel]

I thought Trusses were supposed to be strong and handle stress.

[awesomegmg]

Wow, the King is going to have a new PM! Must be super excited after waiting for 70 years!

[mikemondano]

If "better than Liz" is the sole criterion, then I nominate Daffy Duck.

[shanew]

Is this the shortest lived PM in UK history? wow

[J.gwenhwyfar]

She had to go. It’s now time for a national election.

Liz “I am a fighter not a quitter” Truss

Well, that was fast… not even 2 months.

Ugh…populism, elitism, nationalism, fascism…when people are so concerned with the aspects of their own culture that do not matter, in the long run, and food, medicine, comfort, and transportation aren’t enough to placate people who have enough of all four, then you get what we see happening all over the “developed” world.

Larry the Downing St. cat for PM - more sanity in 1 of his paws than the whole of the Tory government!

[Gguy]

Jeeze, slow down. The Queen's body is still warm!

[leunam]

We will donate Kamala Harris for free!

[redwolfcanisrufus]

After many long days of service nobody regrets her leaving 🤣

[MelC-tdbg]

She's been removing a lot of restrictions that would prevent animal cruelty. Please get rid of her.

[atothetop]

The longest serving Monarch, shortest serving PM crossed paths lol

[jimmyt]

Nigil Farage was their only real hope.

[DaveCM]

Is that the shortest time anyone served as Prime Minister?

[aao]

This banana republic can barely support itself when their "queen" isn't stealing to feed them. Lol! Lizzy picked the right time to dip when she saw she couldn't pretend everything was "just fine" anymore.
