A British newspaper on Friday pitted Liz Truss in a race against a lettuce, asking readers if they thought the under-fire prime minister would lose her job before the vegetable decayed.
The tabloid Daily Star set up a live feed of an unrefrigerated iceberg next to a photo of Truss.
"Which wet lettuce will last longer?" it asked in a Twitter post showing the feed that had garnered over 50,000 likes in its first five hours online.

Liz Truss on Friday fired her finance minister, Kwasi Kwarteng, after just 38 days in office.
