Drama As Sweden's PM Messages Wrong Liz Truss On Twitter

 

A viral report has it that a woman called Liz Trussell, who appeared to have clinched the Twitter handle @LizTruss before the new UK Conservative leader, has been sending cheeky replies to people who thought she was the new prime minister.

Even the Sweden’s PM, Magdalena Andersson, also fell prey as she also tweets to the wrong Liz Truss.

The Swedish PM, the co-leader of the Green Party, thought she had unleashed a stinging attack on the next prime minister when she wrote: “@LizTruss still doesn’t get it – Boris Johnson did *not* get Brexit done, his myriad mistakes over Covid cost countless lives, & he leaves having disgraced his office. Meanwhile, she’s campaigned as a right wing ideologue & will govern as such – which is a disaster for all of us.”

A few hours later, the Swedish prime minister continued to use her turn to message the wrong Liz.

Magdalena Andersson swiftly deleted her post, but not before Ms Trussell expressed a willingness to meet.

She even suggested the Scandinavian leader should bring a delicacy from her home nation, and wrote: “Looking forward to a visit soon! Get the meatballs ready.”

Also, another Twitter user had chimed: “and I bet she likes cake”, Ms Trussell was only too happy to confirm the inevitable and wrote: “I love cake.”

Yet Another Twitter user, @mollymoo popular for flying high the flag for feminism wrote: “Many congratulations to @LizTruss well done.

“Show them all that the best man for the job is a WOMAN.”

And there again went the wrong Truss, Ms Trussell: “Preach sister.”

The drama went on and on until the teeming ‘tweeps’ realised Ms Trussell wasn’t the UK’s next prime minister, apparently when they clicked at her profile. They reached out anyway to show their support, anyway.

Jake Graham liked what he saw when he looked at Ms Trussell’s profile photo and wrote: “Liz Trussell who has the @Liztruss Twitter handle looks like an absolute hun! Can we please have her as PM instead? @loveofhuns.”

Ms Trussell approved of this message and gave it a retweet.

Another Twitter user, simply named “Alan”, said Ms Trussell would get his backing if “you give us maccies all day breakfast”.

Mr Trussell was loving it and replied: “Don’t worry I got you.”

Ms Trussell’s experience is similar to that of American father-of-four John Lewis, who receives more than 50,000 tweets a year from people trying to contact the British retail chain.
