Joe Lycett and Piers Morgan mock Liz Truss after she quits as Prime Minister

Joe Lycett and Piers Morgan are among those not sorry to see Liz Truss leave 10 Downing Street. Former Good Morning Britain presenter Morgan was among the first to respond to the Prime Minister's resignation, brutally mocking her short reign after previously telling his 7.9million social media followers how she had turned the UK into a "laughing stock".

According to articles in the Mirror online, comedian Joe Lycett, who famously parodied the Conservative party line during his notorious appearance on Laura Kuenssberg's Sunday show a few weeks ago, provided a hilarious response to the resignation, with other stars chiming in with their views, too.

Lycett sarcastically tweeted Truss directly, writing: "@trussliz omg just heard there’s a leadership election nxt week????? u shud run babe youd be perfect!!!" It followed the chaos of his participation in Kuenssberg's new BBC show, pretending to be far right-wing in a straight-faced ruse.
