A porn star is not the new British prime minister
Given the political chaos in Britain following the vote to leave the European Union, an ‘H’ appears to have been lost in the shuffle.
Teresa May is not the new British prime minister. Theresa May is.
Underwear model and adult actress Teresa May, whose Twitter handle is @realteresamay, has received congratulations on Twitter for her new political job. Her bio now reads “I am a UK Glamour model, not the Prime Minister.”
I find it quite amusing how many people think I'm #TheresaMay the Prime Minister. Just shows how ignorant some people are.

Britons appear to be confusing her with Theresa May, the Conservative Party politician and former home secretary who took over Wednesday as the U.K.’s prime minister following David Cameron’s resignation.
The model May slammed journalists on Twitter for taking pictures of her to publish with stories about the confusion, and said she wished she were being paid for every media request she was getting. She added a copyright over photos on her Twitter feed, which she said was to prevent journalists from publishing them.
Go ahead journalists, steal my pics, get an easy story rather than graft and offer me bugger all except promotion which I really don't need!
