The big idea [Shortest-serving PMs in UK history]( Yes… Bonar Law is a real name. (Visual: Zachary Crockett) Truss’ resignation is all about the economy Since 1827, the shortest tenure of a UK prime minister had been that of George Canning, who worked for 118 days until dying in office. Now, after just six weeks at work, PM Liz Truss will wear that crown. Yesterday, Truss announced plans to resign in a bid to address economic turmoil brought on during her short tenure. What happened? Truss’ government tried enacting the UK’s largest [tax cuts]( since the 1970s, mostly aimed at wealthy Britons and corporations. With inflation sitting north of 10%, policies meant to stimulate further spending immediately sounded investors’ alarm bells. In anticipation that the central bank would have to raise interest rates to curtail inflation, foreign investors began fleeing — driving the pound to record lows against the dollar. So what now? Truss tried remedying the situation by firing her treasury chief and scrapping the plans, but it was too late. She [ranks]( as the lowest-polling British leader in history, and [35%]( of UK companies say the turmoil has impacted their business. Of course, the [memes]( were out in [full force](. British tabloid Daily Star had even been livestreaming [a head of lettuce]( under the banner: “Can Liz Truss outlast a lettuce?” She could not, and an election will be held next week to find a replacement.

If true, we may soon have another revolution on our hands. Bread prices have been [skyrocketing]( across the US and Europe, per The New York Times. It’s a story of complex carbs Reasons for the hikes vary by region, but generally include: - Inflation: which has increased the cost of raw materials used to make bread, like eggs and flour. - Geopolitics: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has driven up prices for energy in Europe, as well as grains, oilseeds, and fertilizers. Making matters worse, the price surge coincides with a butter [shortage](, meaning complimentary bread and butter may soon be a relic of the past… which actually sounds like something that could spark a revolution.
