Director's Note
Alex Christopherson on his ridiculous idea
The past few years of British politics have been turbulent and distressing, but frankly if we can't laugh about it, what can we do? One story was particularly hilarious to me: that of our shortest ever prime minister. No, I'm not talking about height, but duration. In just 44 days she caused more damage to the UK economy than arguably anyone else, and in true British satirical tradition, this was marked by the shelf-life of a lettuce.
​
The Techtonics are known for being silly, stupid, nerdy and over the top. So to me, this seemed like the cross over that (despite no one asking for), everyone needed to see.
A Timeline of Liz's Premiership
Day 1 5 Sep
Well done BoJo
Liz is elected Prime Minister by the Conservative Party and, in her acceptance speech, thanks Boris Johnson for his admirable service "from Kiev to Carlisle".
Day 2 6 Sep
Visit to the Queen
Liz is appointed by Her Majesty the Queen at Balmoral and appoints Kwasi as her Chancellor.
​
Also, a video of her former Lib Dem days went viral.
Day 4 8 Sep
Mourning Begins
Liz and Kwasi announce the energy support package, but before anyone can react, Queen Elizabeth II passed away.
​
The next two weeks were national mourning.
Day 18 23 Sep
Mini Budget
The mini budget is announced and, well, you know the rest...
Day 37 13 Oct
Kwasi isn't going
Kwasi has been sent to New York City to try calm the international response to the mini-budget.
​
Before boarding the plane home, he is asked if he'll still be chancellor in a month: "yes," he says, "and Liz will be PM."
Day 36 12 Oct
"Dear oh dear"
Liz meets the king again, who greets her with a "Dear oh dear, back again". Yikes...
Day 28 3 Oct
U-turn time!
U turn time! Liz and Kwasi start undoing much of their mini-budget.
Day 23 29 Sep
U-turn? Never...
Liz doubles down on her economic plans and rules out any U-turns.
Day 38 14 Oct
Goodbye Kwasi
As soon as his plane lands, Liz sacks him.
Day 42 18 Oct
Liz is definitely not hiding under a desk
With Jeremy Hunt now undoing all her and Kwasi's ideas, Liz seems to have lost all authority and avoids PMQs.
Day 43 19 Oct
"I'm a fighter, not a quitter"
Her most iconic line followed cross-party calls for her resignation, most notably from her own home secretary Suella Braverman.
Day 44 20 Oct
"I quit"
The U-turn to end all U-turns, within less than 24 hours of denying it as a possibility, Liz has resigned.
