After Truss won the race to become Tory leader and the new Prime Minister, Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson tweeted a message of goodwill to @liztruss. “Congratulations to Liz Truss, who will take on the role of Prime Minister of Great Britain. Sweden and Great Britain will continue our deep and extensive cooperation. It is important to our citizens, our economies and our security,” he wrote. Looking forward to a visit soon! Prepare the Meatballs — Liz Trussell (@Liztruss) September 5, 2022 Unfortunately, the Twitter handle in question has been owned by a woman called Liz Trussell since 2009, with Britain’s new global leader having to make do with @trussliz. But Trussell showed a quick wit by replying that she was “looking forward to a visit soon!” and suggesting Anderson “Get the meatballs ready.” Caroline Lucas, the Greens MP for Brighton, tweeted @LizTruss saying she “still doesn’t get it” and that she “ran as a right-wing ideologue and will govern as such – which is a disaster for us all”. [email protected] still doesn’t get it – Boris Johnson didn’t get Brexit done, his myriad covid blunders cost countless lives and he’s leaving office in disgrace. Meanwhile, he has campaigned as a right wing ideologue and will govern as such – which is a disaster for us all — Caroline Lucas (@CarolineLucas) September 5, 2022 The Swedish prime minister deleted her tweet, but Lucas later apologized for confusing her. “Sorry, my previous tweet about #ToryLeadership should have been addressed to @trussliz – not Liz Trussell who tweets @Liztruss – and frankly, probably would have done better” Sky presenter Sophy Ridge enjoyed the sport, tweeting that Trussell was “living her best life” by replying to all the wrong tweets. These also included one from Right of Center UK’s online news and current affairs magazine, which tweeted that @liztruss was the ‘Best Man for the Job’. Congratulations @LizTruss on becoming the new Prime Minister of the UK! The best man for the job! — Right of Center UK 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 (@RightOfCentreUK) September 5, 2022 One Twitter user called for Trussell to become the new prime minister and called for an audience with the Queen. Truschel replied, “Yes!!!!!! Me and Queen Liz would be besties.” Another said Trussell should at least be invited to tea with the monarch, to which she replied: “@RoyalFamily I’m available tomorrow”. Applause to @LizTruss for very happily responding to MANY people who accidentally send her tweets meant for some other person of some sudden fame. I hope she gets some meatballs + an invitation from the Queen to tea with the @RoyalFamily for her troubles. https://t.co/uxWCyOKeOY — Pat Caporali 🇨🇦🏁 (@PCaporali) September 5, 2022
