Woman throws milkshake at Nigel Farage on first day of campaigning | Nigel Farage | The Guardian

Nigel Farage had a milkshake thrown over him on his first day of campaigning in Clacton, the Essex constituency where he is making his eighth attempt to become an MP. The Reform UK leader was coming out of a pub after a rally on Clacton’s beachfront when a young woman drenched him with what appeared to be a banana milkshake from McDonald’s.

The woman, who gave her name as Victoria, told the BBC she had not come to the event to throw the drink but did so because Farage “did not stand” for her. Farage had earlier told crowds of supporters that young people’s minds were being “poisoned” in schools as he promised to stand against what he called “woke nonsense”.

holy shit that photo of her going down the stairs to applause is chefs-kiss, she looks fucking great, she's obviously pleased as hell with her anti-fascist direct action, if there were a photo of me that looked like that I'd carry it around in my wallet and show it to everyone I met

@[email protected] can you emote it plz

holy shit that photo of her going down the stairs

At first only posted the glob of 3 photos. Then I scrolled down the Bluesky thread and I saw the original of her. I realized that if I cropped that photo to be focused on her and the guy clapping - it was perfect.
