‘Abandoned’ Brexit bus is the political metaphor Twitter has been waiting for (PHOTOS)
The Brexit Party’s double decker bus was found apparently abandoned on a road in Wales, becoming social media’s perfect metaphor for the stalled negotiations and political deadlock plaguing the UK’s EU departure.
The open top bus was left stranded across a layby in Brecon, Wales on Friday after getting into difficulty. A Welsh journalist came across the bizarre discovery later that evening, resulting in a hilarious Twitter thread speculating as to whether it was an incredibly fitting metaphor, or bizarre PR stunt.
Driving through the Brecon Beacons tonight. Was expecting a few by-election posters, but surprised to see what looked like a Brexit Party bus, crashed into a hedge. Got out to check all was ok. No one around, just an abandoned bus, doors open, side-on, blocking a lay-by... pic.twitter.com/8VwvEeZjlO

The bus was reportedly part of a campaign to drum-up support for Brexit Party candidate Des Parkinson in the upcoming local elections. However, much like Brexit discussions, the coach came to a halt after getting stuck.
Wow, it’s almost like they got themselves into a tight spot and then bailed because they didn’t know how to deal with the situation. pic.twitter.com/eU1qk9fZjv
