Top clips: Champion lettuce, victory for charity runner, and a crab takes down an eagle

In this week’s top clips, Liz Truss resigns outside 10 Downing Street, becoming the shortest-serving British prime minister and losing a cheeky battle to a lettuce.

Plus, don’t miss the heartwarming 4000-kilometre finish for a young tradie with a worthy goal – raising awareness for an important cause.

A beaver shows us that old habits die hard, an eagle loses against a feisty crab, and last of all a pup is Halloween-ready.

Enjoy!

Liz Truss resigns 

After 45 days as Prime Minister, Liz Truss has thrown in the towel. In her resignation speech, Truss said: “Given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party.” Her resignation comes on the heels of much controversy and the departure of Home Secretary Suella Braverman. 

Lettuce enjoys a win

Just last week a British tabloid cheekily posed the question: ‘Which will last longer – Liz Truss’s time in office or a head of lettuce?’ It looks like we have our answer.

Nedd Brockmann’s victorious finish

Running triumphantly to the finish line, 23-year-old tradie Nedd Brockmann finishes a 4000-kilometre run across Australia after just 47 days. Brockmann beat his target of $1 million for homelessness charity We Are Mobilise and raised nearly $2 million.
