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.

A woman, 25, was arrested on suspicion of assault after the incident, in which the Reform UK leader was drenched with a banana milkshake as he came out of a pub following a rally on Clacton’s beachfront.

Essex police said while officers were detaining the suspect, a man was arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker.

Farage’s entry into the general election race has prompted open alarm among Conservatives. Marco Longhi, a Tory rightwinger fighting to retain his seat of Dudley North, made an appeal for Reform not to target like-minded Conservative incumbents...

Farage lost all 7 previous times he ran.

English couple winters at my condo. They have big bucks. They love the right.
