On Thursday, Liz Truss introduced that, after solely serving 45 days, she might be stepping down because the prime minister of the UK. Truss made historical past as one of many shortest-serving world leaders. However throughout her time, she made essentially the most of it, jampacking her tenure with controversies.
In fact, the Brits are coping with it in the one method that they understand how…jokes and dry sarcasm. And, I’m not going to lie, it’s fairly humorous.
The evening of Truss’s departure, the BBC’s present affairs program, Newsnight performed Rihanna’s break-up anthem “Take a Bow” over a virtually two-minute montage of Truss’s farewell speech and her few moments as prime minister. The manufacturing on this video is absolute gold. Particularly the peerlessly timed lyric “you look so dumb proper now, standing exterior my home” as Truss steps exterior 10 Downing Avenue.
Gorgeous and devastating opening from Newsnight tonight.
Harsh, sure. Media college students (and present broadcast journalists!) take notice: your edit is nothing with out the fitting selection of music. And oh boy that is fairly the selection. pic.twitter.com/qgWtI66TSY— Tim Johns (@timoncheese) October 20, 2022
Channel 4 Information took an identical method. However they opted to play Taylor Swift’s “Black Area,” which was one among Truss’s favourite songs. I’ll without end be jealous that I didn’t provide you with it myself.

Each movies have unfold like wildfire throughout social media, with customers calling the clips “really a chunk of artwork” and a “masterpiece of reportage.” Whereas the UK’s political destiny is at the moment up within the air, at the very least they made some nice memes.
