A massive tax cut enacted by Truss ravaged the U.K.’s financial system and led to major intervention by its central bank.
She also sacked one of her finance ministers who had been implementing the policies she had campaigned on.

Before Truss, the shortest reign as prime minister could be claimed by Sir Alec Douglas-Home, who lasted one year and one day, from 1963 to 1964.
The party continued Thursday for the head of lettuce, which the Daily Star said it purchased at Tesco for 60 pence . It was joined by an assortment of other googly-eyed fruits as a loop of Reggae music and a swarm of colorful disco lights filled the room.
