Just wondering what people think. I reckon it'll go back to both names.

Is Truss a possibility ?

I can think of some unprintable ones, some of which will be misogynistic.

Liz Truss most likely if being polite.

Prime Minister surely

I think Truss.
Or Thick Lizzy seems to be doing the rounds.

In the past I noticed there was a bit of a reluctance to refer to female politicians by their surnames, the way male politicians usually are referred to- e.g. Cameron and Blair but never David and Tony. Boris obviously bucked the trend with that, though.

I wondered that. there were people on here who used to berate everyone for calling Boris-Boris. Because he's not out mate or something.
I think in context if you say Liz then people will know who you're talking about, but there will be moaning on here about it for sure.

*our mate

Not something we had to worry about in the end.
