The Daily Star pitted a lettuce against the PM’s shelf life and this front page is the iceberg on the cake

It got the plaudits it so very much deserved.

Contender for the best front page of all time: six lettuce puns, lettuce cam, AND “ghosts are real”. Tabloid perfection. #lettuceliz pic.twitter.com/JwH68wXqDE

There is a serious possibility the subject of Truss' urgent meeting with Sir Graham Brady was "please just let me stay long enough to see off the fucking lettuce in the Daily Star" https://t.co/PurcPebniL

If the Daily Star needs help with future lettuce updates, they could do a lot worse than getting Katie Curtis on board.

In her BBC interview she looked cress fallen, I think she needs help with her comms & should employ a new spin-ach doctor! https://t.co/9PuYtc6HZV
