Liz Truss was serenaded by a loud speaker as she made her farewell speech outside Number 10.

The indie classic ‘I Predict A Riot’ by the Kaiser Chiefs blared outside Downing Street thanks to activist Steve Bray – who else.
‘It’s not very pretty I tell thee,’ could be heard as she delivered her brief statement to the nation.
But at just three-minutes long, it was so short the song barely made the chorus.
While there haven’t exactly been riots on the street, Britain is fast running out of patience with its leaders after going through three prime ministers in four months.
