Donald Trump accidentally tweets the wrong Theresa May in latest Twitter outburst to strain UK ties

Apologies if this has been posted already.

First it was Ivanka from Brighton who got a surprise tweet from Donald Trump. Now it’s Theresa Scrivener.

Hours after Theresa May had said it was “wrong” of the US President to re-tweet three anti-Muslim videos posted by a British far-Right group, Mr Trump duly fired off his response on Twitter. In his haste to tweet his testy riposte, though, Mr Trump tweeted to the wrong Theresa May.

“Theresa @theresamay, don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!”

However, @theresamay is not the Prime Minister: she is a Theresa Scrivener, who has six followers on Twitter and follows 103 people.

After joining the social media site in 2009, she has tweeted nine times - but because her account is protected, only her six followers can read them.
