Liz Truss today announced her resignation after a chaotic 44-day premiership which saw her lose the confidence of Tory MPs and ignite an economic turmoil like no other. She has become the shortest-serving Prime Minister in British history - coming before George Canning, who died in 1827 after 119 days in the post.
This record-breaking period has prompted many social media users to think about what has lasted longer, poking fun at Ms Truss' short spell inside No 10. Speaking from a lectern outside Downing Street earlier today, the PM announced she had told the King she was resigning as the Conservative Party leader as she recognised she "cannot deliver the mandate" that Tory members gave her little over six weeks ago.
Here, we take a look at things that have outlived Ms Truss' time as PM - from magician David Blaine who survived without food in a perspex box for the same amount of time to B&Q's generous returns policy that outlives her tenure.
