A cafe in Levenshulme has been offering its customers a free lettuce with every coffee following Liz Truss' resignation. Aunty Ji's posted the tongue-in-cheek promotion on their Instagram story earlier this afternoon (Friday October 21).
The post read: 'Free lettuce with every coffee or chai - this Friday only', alongside a photograph of an iceberg lettuce and a hot drink on one of the tables in the venue. It follows the Daily Star livestreaming a Tesco-bought lettuce in a blonde wig to see if it could outlast the Prime Minister - which it did.
The stunt was inspired by weekly newspaper Economist, which had earlier quipped that Truss’s tenure in Downing Street threatened to be “roughly the shelf-life of a lettuce”.
