As the UK reacted to prime minister Liz Truss’s departure on Thursday (20 October), after just 44 days in office, the travel industry provided some tongue-in-cheek responses to her short-lived tenure in Downing Street.

Thomas Cook made her the face of "short stays" as fellow travel brands and industry professionals found other amusing ways to share the news.

Cook took to its Facebook page, offering new "short stays from £159pp", with a photo of the former prime minister wheeling a suitcase away from No. 10 Downing Street. 

Elsewhere, Ryanair shared an image of a boarding pass for "passenger Liz Truss", flying from Gatwick airport to "anywhere".
