A faux blue plaque has been erected exterior a Tesco in Walthamstow to commemorate the truth that the lettuce that famously outlasted Liz Truss’s premiership was purchased there.
On the dying of her 49 days as prime minister a wilting 60p iceberg lettuce from Tesco in a blond wig was declared the winner of a race to final longest as she misplaced her grip on energy after her disastrous mini-budget, which led to her sacking the then chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng.
Because it appeared like her time in Downing Road was up, the Day by day Star arrange a webcam on the lettuce to see if it could have an extended shelf-life than the prime minister. After seven days it duly did.
In an extra twist, the blue plaque added to the Tesco in east London was subsequent to an enormous promotional Tesco picture for British cheese. Truss famously declared at a Conservative celebration convention in 2014 that it was a “shame” that the UK imported two-thirds of its cheese.
It’s unlikely that the previous MP, who misplaced her seat on the basic election in July, will see the humorous facet. In August she abruptly left an occasion, saying it was “not humorous” when a banner positioned by marketing campaign group Led by Donkeys descended behind her throughout an occasion to advertise her e book which had an image of a lettuce and the slogan “I crashed the financial system”.
It isn’t recognized if the Tesco retailer in Walthamstow shares the Norfolk Peer, which Truss as soon as stated was her favorite potato.
Truss has been contacted for remark.
