King Charles ‘makes surprising new appointment as UK Prime Minister’ following shock resignation of Liz Truss

TWITTER quickly filled with jokes following the shock resignation of Liz Truss as UK Prime Minister on Thursday, October 20, with one account revealing that King Charles had made a surprising new appointment for the role.

Liz Truss sensationally resigned as UK Prime Minister on her 45th day in the role – making her the shortest PM in history – and Twitter was quick to point out the absurdity of it all with one post going viral after jokingly revealing what King Charles said.

As noted, Ms Truss announced that she had spoken to King Charles to tender her resignation, saying that the leadership election is “to be completed within the next week.”

This led to Larry the Cat tweeting: “The King has asked me to become Prime Minister because this nonsense has gone on long enough.”
