Liz Truss is going to be forever remembered as the Prime Minister that couldn’t last as long as a lettuce, but presenter Jeremy Vine attempted to put a bookend on the whole debacle today by eating the lettuce in question live on air.

The Daily Star set up a livestream of the lettuce over the last week and it was presented to Vine on his show this afternoon on a red velvet cushion with a crown on it. He then proceeded to rip a bit off it and place it in a BLT sandwich before taking a bite out of it.

Here’s the whole ridiculous scene:

This is where it gets sticky for me, because I’m actually going to put some of this lettuce – which has lasted, I don’t know, nine days – into a sandwich, and I’m going to eat it.

We need to see whether it still tastes like lettuce.

We just take a nice bit of the innards of it – I don’t want anything on the outside, that was looking a little bit furry and unpleasant.

It’s soft on the inside, I wouldn’t say it’s completely crispy, but it’s certainly lettuce.

It’s still lettuce everyone. It survived longer. lt survived longer than Liz Truss, there’s no doubt about that.

Yeah, that really doesn’t look that good does it, but fair play to him for eating it. It’s a major claim to fame as I don’t think that anyone is ever going to forget that lettuce and nobody else in the world is going to be able to say that they ate it. Respect.

Anyway, that’s it for this week and what a stupid one it’s been. See you next week when things will surely get even worse.

For more of the same, check out this guy he says that eating lettuces is for losers. I suppose there’s somewhat of a point in there.
