The presumptive UK Prime Minister and a glamour model share something in common -- name but for an "h". Known as Teresa May, the glamour model has found the variant of Theresa taking some prominence among opinionist who fail to distinguish between "Theresa" and "Teresa".
While the potential UK Prime Minister is known as Theresa May, the model goes by the name Teresa May though born Teresa Betteridge.

The mistake is so pronounced that if one search for #TeresaMay or even simply Teresa May news and updates regarding the Home Secretary's activities and campaign overwhelms the search result. The same goes with Google, although Google corrects and prompts that the query shows results of "Theresa May" instead of "Teresa May".
To correct the misconception, the glamour model had to edit her to state thus:
"I am a UK Glamour Model, not the Prime Minister...."
She further twitted thus: "I find it quite amusing how many people think I'm #TheresaMay the Prime Minsiter. Just shows how ignorant some people are.
Meanwhile, the outgoing Prime Minster has revealed that there may be a new leadership under Theresa May after all other contestants withdrew from the race to No. 10 Downing Street.
Following the withdrawal of Andrea Leadsom, who before the withdrawal was May's only challenger to the Conservative Party's leadership since Michael Gove, Laim Fox, Stephen Crabb and Boris Johnson stepped aside.
However, Andrea Leadsom drew the ire of his colleagues when she made the "I have children comment" during an interview with The Times, alluding to Ms May's childlessness. In affirming why she would be the best candidate, Ms Leadsom noted that she has "children who are going to have children who will directly be part of what happens next." Potentially stating that her stake in Britain's future is higher than that of Theresa May. MP Leadsom had already apologized to the incoming Prime Minister. She made the intimation to the Telegraph that "I've already said to Theresa how very sorry I am for any hurt I have caused."
The public outburst in what MP Leadsom referred to a misconception of her statement led her to throw in the towel and resigned from her contention of the hallowed position. In a statement she released, Leadsom noted that "[a]fter careful consideration I do not believe this is sufficient support to lead a strong and stable government should I win the leadership election." Thus leaving the stage to MP May.
A consummate politician per excellence serves as the Home Secretary after a sting as Interior Minister. She was not a supporter of the BREXIT movement during the June 23 referendum, however in her statement on Monday, the incoming Prime Minister stated that "Brexit is Brexit, and we are going to make of it", undertaking to build a "future that works for everyone of us".
Following the statement released by David Cameron, MP Theresa May may take over the keys to No. 10 Downing Street on Wednesday from PM David Cameron. The Prime Minister stated that he would resign on Wednesday, after chairing his cabinet on Tuesday and taking some questions at the Parliament on Wednesday he would then proceed to the Buckingham Palace to tender his resignation to the Queen of England. "So we would have a new prime minister in that building behind me by Wednesday evening" he told reporters in front of No. 10.
If Theresa May assumes office on Wednesday, she would become the second woman to occupy the position of Prime Minister of Britain, the first being Margret Thatcher who was the Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990. There are however worries whether PM May would call a general election. There is already a petition up for signatories to that effect. However, critics believe she may. She was among those who called on Gordon Brown to call a general election after he took over the office of the Prime Minister from Tony Blair.
