Nigel Farage, the leader of the Reform UK party, was hit with a milkshake while launching his election campaign in Clacton. The incident occurred outside the Moon and Starfish pub, where Farage was meeting voters. Reports indicate that a woman threw a McDonald's banana milkshake at him, splattering his suit jacket. Additionally, Farage had a pint of beer thrown at him outside a Wetherspoons in Clacton. This event happened just hours after Farage announced his candidacy, calling the UK general election campaign 'boring.' Two individuals have been arrested in connection with the incident, one for assaulting Farage and another for assaulting an emergency worker.
