Milkshake thrown over Nigel Farage as he launches campaign in Clacton

Nigel #farage had what appeared to be a milkshake thrown at him on Tuesday afternoon as he relaunched the #Reform party’s election campaign in #Clacton.

Mr Farage announced his shock return to the political fray at the start of this week at a press conference, succeeding Richard Tice as leader of the insurgent Right-wing party.

In photographs of the incident, a woman can be seen throwing a McDonald’s milkshake at Mr Farage as he left a Wetherspoons in Clacton.

This wouldn't happen where im from!!

The milkshake machine is never working 😢

If she doesn’t get charged, someone please make sure Sunak gets the same treatment at his next appearance 👍🏻

[outcastp]

The real question, was it banana or vanilla milkshake?

[Gilan]

So he lies and destroys the livings of farmers, fishermen, small businesses, hauliers, artists for at least 2 generations and someone get arrested for throwing milk at him? He should be charged with treason and fraud.

That wasn't a protest stunt... that's just how people from Clacton welcome new people visiting Clacton.

The 2nd time Farage has had milkshake thrown at him, happened to him in Newcastle 5 years ago 😂😂 I don’t like Farage, he’s evil.

Shame Nigel hasn't got the reflexes of John Prescott

[malcolmdale]

In England they throw milkshakes. In America they shoot. I'm glad I live in England.

I don't particularly agree with his views but he has the right to express them. This women's actions show what's wrong with the country.

[ccs]

Poor Nigel getting a Milkshake thrown over him?? Thankfully the Police made a Nesquik arrest 😂😂😂

[fhugheveleigh]

One assumes this is common assault and the woman will be arested. One assumes ... but ...

[klausvoor]

Not many people attending aged under fifty, except Tommy Robinson, in the far right hand corner.

[beholdapalehorse]

Im not voting Conservatives or labour, and everything the woke stands for i oppose ALL OF IT

[amenra]

Weird how the politicians who destroy this country never get assaulted, only the guy who's saying what most people actually agree with.

[aaronclarke]

She's been detained, and if the fool from 2019 in Newcastle is anything to go by he was forced to pay quite an expensive amount for his suit, microphone etc.

She looks like she did not need the extra calories anyway.

[hb]

She must be charged. This bad behaviour leads to much worse if ignored and it must not go unpunished as passed experiences have been more serious.

[craphat]

That woman is exactly why im voting Reform.

[JurassicRod]

The left are so peaceful and tolerant.

[lewisbush]

If this was done on keir starmer or sunak the girl would be done for assault.
If this get done to nigel farage it is seemed as OK... double standards 🤦‍♀️

[sandwormgod]

I hope she's been arrested and charged with assault. A milkshake? Thats going back a bit, but it's still reprehensible.
