The Tories 'Get Brexit Done' bus broke down and the jokes wrote themselves

In news that we're honestly surprised hadn't happened yet, the Tories 'Get Brexit Done' battlebus has broken down on a housing estate in Bedford.

The incident reportedly occurred on Thursday afternoon leaving Tory staffers and a journalist, although not the prime minister, stranded for around 45 minutes in Wixams, Bedfordshire.

According to the BBC's Nick Eardley, there was a problem with a mechanical wing mirror but it was soon fixed by the driver and they were back on the road.

Although this was only a minor mishap and was quickly fixed it was almost indicative of the entire Brexit debacle, which has been a stop and start affair ever since 2016.

Given the nature of what happened and the Tories week of mishaps, this entire scene soon became a viral joke with all the obvious puns being made, especially after the Tories banned the Daily Mirror's presence on the bus.

Also, the bus was a German Mercedes-Benz, which doesn't sound very Brexity.
