UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has been outlasted by a lettuce in a wig after she resigned as leader of the Conservative Party.
Ms Truss, who has held the role since 6 September, resigned on Thursday after 44 days of economic and political turmoil.
Amid calls for her to step down, British tabloid newspaper The Daily Star started a YouTube livestream of a picture of Truss and a head of lettuce on 14 October.
"Will Liz Truss still be Prime Minister within the 10 day shelf-life of a lettuce?" the video caption read.
The lettuce head was given googly eyes, a mouth, arms and feet in a similar vein to Mr Potato Head toys as well as a blonde wig to resemble Ms Truss.
On the seventh day of the livestream, Ms Truss stepped down, allowing "Lizzy Lettuce" to claim victory.
Ms Truss' leafy counterpart was seen celebrating with a pastry from Greggs and some beverages in the evening with her fruit and vegetable friends.
