Theresa May is set to take over as Britain’s second woman PM on Wednesday, but her accession to the top has already led to some confusion. Now Brits aren’t the smartest of the lot, as some of them searching 'What is EU?’ after voting to leave the EU showed, and we again saw a sign of that when many confused politician Theresa May for porn star Teresa May.
Referred to as a glamour model in the UK, Teresa May’s social media profile was on fire since the news broke that Theresa May would be the next British PM. Congratulatory tweets mentioning @RealTeresaMay started doing the rounds, and Teresa (without an H) had to continually point out that she wasn’t going to lead the nation. She was also angry with journalists for stealing her pics, but her retweets did show a remarkable, and very British sense of humour.
Theresa May will take over the job of British prime minister from David Cameron on Wednesday and form a government with the monumental tasks of extricating Britain from the European Union and uniting a fractured nation. May, who has been interior minister for six years and is seen by her supporters as a safe pair of hands to steer the country through the disruptive Brexit process, will become Britain's second woman prime minister, after Margaret Thatcher.
So today is the day @realteresamay becomes prime minister of the country. way to go girl every body give a follow and bring some happiness!

Britain's decision to leave has rocked the bloc it joined 43 years ago, and thrown decades of European integration into reverse.
Cameron, who led the "Remain" campaign, announced the morning after the June 23 referendum that he would stand down, triggering a leadership contest in the ruling Conservative Party. The contest had been due to last until September but ended unexpectedly on Monday when May's last rival pulled out.
After taking part in his last weekly session of Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) in parliament's House of Commons at midday (1100 GMT), Cameron will make his way to Buckingham Palace to tender his resignation to Queen Elizabeth.
