Woman gets mistaken for UK Prime Minister Liz Truss; her responses leave internet in splits

Liz Truss, the head of the Conservative Party, who defeated Indian-origin former chancellor Rishi Sunak on Monday to become the new prime minister of the United Kingdom.

Since the news came out, Truss has been overwhelmed with  congratulatory messages from other leaders and public figures. Truss has been undoubtedly celebrating this occasion, but another woman who is unrelated to politics or Truss’s victory, has been also getting similar messages on her Twitter account.

The confusion hit the internet users as the Twitter username of the woman, named Liz Trussell, is @Liztruss. What is even more humorous is that instead of correcting people, the woman is rolling with the instance of mistaken identification and having fun by making her presence felt on those posts.

You will laugh out loud at her responses to those who tagged her to congratulate Liz Truss on her election victory.

A Twitter user, Thor Benson, gathered some screenshots of the woman’s replies to several posts and shared them on his personal account.

He captioned the post, “People keep tagging a random person instead of the incoming British prime minister and she’s rolling with it lol.”

In the comment section, users shared some other snaps of her replies. The British Royal Family’s official Twitter account, Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, and UK Green Party MP Caroline Lucas were among many who misidentified Liz.
