Social media on Friday mocked embattled British Prime Minister Theresa May over a photograph of her sitting alone in a room awaiting European Union Brexit talks, calling it a "metaphor" for her isolated position.

May is seen alone at a large table decorated with four potted plants, apparently lost in her thoughts. She was in fact waiting for European Council President Donald Tusk, with whom she was to hold talks to try to break the deadlock in Brexit negotiations.

Internet users quickly drew parallels between the image and May's isolation, both within the Brexit talks against the 27 other EU nations, and within her own Conservative party.
