Liz Truss becomes a trivia question

[redbird]

The question being either "what was the shortest term of a British prime minister? p "who served the shortest term as British prime minister?" or the trickier "how long was the shortest term of a British prime minister?'

Someone in Ireland is probably already taking bets on whether Truss's successor will beat that record. (British bookmakers aren't supposed to take bets on British elections, and this may fall within that.)

Also, the Grauniad has a list of n"shortest-serving world leaders." Two men are tied for shortest, one on a technicality--the Guiness book of World Records is counting the never-proclaimed Louis XIX of France:

He was, apparently king only between the time of his father’s abdication signature and that of his own, both of which were on the same document.
