Even Sweden’s PM has been tweeting the wrong Liz Truss

A woman named Liz Trussell has been sending witty replies to a flurry of tweets accidentially sent to her instead of Britain’s new prime minister Liz Truss.

Ms Trussell has the Twitter account ‘liztruss’, which political leaders and members of the public have mistakenly used to either congratulate or criticise the new Tory leader following her victory on Monday. Ms Truss has the Twitter handle ‘trussliz’.

Sweden’s prime minister Magdalena Andersson posted a congratulatory tweet to whom she thought was the new Tory leader on Monday.Ms Trussell replied to the tweet, saying: “Looking forward to a visit soon! Get the meatballs ready.”
