Carole wants a way to denote the difference between Prime Ministers who have been internally selected after some kerfuffle vs. the ones who came to the position as leader of their Party. At least for Liz Truss, I suggest Sub-Prime Minister. Of course, this might continue be useful for anyone in that type of position in the future.
