Nigel Farage, the new leader of Reform UK, had a milkshake thrown at him on his first day of campaigning in Clacton, Essex.

Farage, known for his Eurosceptic stance, was in Clacton to begin his campaign to become an MP. After addressing supporters and conducting media interviews, a 25-year-old woman threw a banana milkshake at him as he left a pub, resulting in her arrest for assault.

This incident follows Farage’s recent announcement to lead Reform UK and stand as a candidate, causing concern among Conservatives.

Home Secretary James Cleverly warned that a vote for Reform could lead to a Labour government.

Farage aims to reshape the Conservative party, comparing his strategy to the 1993 Canadian election.

William Hague likened Farage to a 'big wrecking ball' threatening the Tories.

Despite the incident, Farage continued his campaign, promoting patriotism and economic investment in Clacton.
