The Daily Star (a fairly low-rent tabloid newspaper in the UK) has been live-streaming a video of a lettuce for most of the week, as a competition to see whether Liz Truss will resign, or the lettuce reach its best-before date (10 days) first.
In addition to other comments, I suspect that the livestreamed lettuce was a reference to an earlier article saying describing Truss as having effectively had seven days in power before everything fell apart, saying "That is roughly the shelf-life of a lettuce." - various other media outlets seemed to pick up & run with the lettuce reference.
Someone set up youtube stream with a picture of Liz Truss and a lettuce. People in the chat could discuss what was likely to last longer, the lettuce or Liz Truss.
It was the daily star, one of the UKs tabloid newspapers, who often have "irreverant" approaches to the news, this one paid off for them I'd guess.
"Someone" being the Daily Star, a British tabloid
That newspaper started a live feed pitting a lettuce against the PM seeing if she could last longer in office than the lettuce.
Click on the link? The video description explains it.
Clicked it, but didn't notice the video description, did see a huge amount of people talking and saying mostly nonsense.
I did go back to find it. It's 2 clicks away from clicking the link.
