Brexit Party tour bus towed after it was found wedged in a lay-by
How ironic for the party that says it has the muscle to leave the European Union; it can’t even manage its way out of a lay-by outside Brecon and Radnorshire.
The Brexit Party has been using the distinctive blue-and-white open-topped bus to ferry its candidate in the Brecon and Radnorshire by-election, Des Parkinson, around the constituency.
But the tour came to a thudding halt yesterday when the bus was found, abandoned and wedged sideways in a lay-by at Nantddu, outside the constituency on the road between Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil.
BBC Wales weather presenter Sue Charles discovered the abandoned bus on her way through the Brecon Beacons last night (July 27):
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

She contacted the police, who had been informed already. This morning, she followed up on it – and Twitter started having fun:

A beautiful metaphor for brexit
They told everyone this was the right direction to go, but when it all went tits up they ran away to leave someone else to sort it out.— Kiddero (@Kiddero3) July 28, 2019
I’ve contacted Des Parkinson to ask what happened. If he responds, I’ll report it here.
