“He doesn’t represent anything I believe in, or any of the people around here”
Mother-of-one Victoria Thomas-Bowen (25) was arrested by police on suspicion of assault after she hurled the contents of a McDonald’s cup at the new Reform leader as he stepped out of a Wetherspoons in Clacton, Essex.
She has been promoting the stunt to bring viewers to her “explicit XXX” content page by posting a photo of herself while boasting “my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard”.
The drink caught Mr Farage who had previously dubbed Clacton the “most patriotic” town in Britain, full in the face.
He wiped his eyes and continued his tour although he later described the incident as “quite frightening”.
Thomas, who has more than 18,100 followers on Instagram, and films her X-rated video clips in the spare bedroom of her mother’s house in Grays, told the BBC she flung the banana milkshake because she “just felt like it”.
“He doesn’t stand for me,” the unrepentant model declared. “He doesn’t represent anything I believe in, or any of the people around here. He doesn’t represent us, he’s not from here.”
She has since posted a photo of herself in her underwear alongside a link to her OnlyFans website and the lyrics to the song Milkshake.
The incident has led to wide condemnation across the political divide with Labour’s Yvette Cooper calling it a “disgrace” and “completely unacceptable and wrong”. Home Secretary James Cleverly said it was “unacceptable”.
Although aides played down the impact, saying the milkshake “barely stained’ Mr Farage’s suit, onlookers were said to be “shocked” by the incident.
The Reform UK leader told ITV: “I don’t know what was thrown at me but it hit me in the face fair and square. Quite frightening.”
In 2019, Mr Farage was hit with a banana milkshake while campaign for the Brexit Party. His assailant was later ordered to carry out community work and pay £350 in compensation.
Mr Farage later made light of the episode by buying a round of banana milkshakes for press photographers.
According to the Daily Mail, an Essex Police statement said: “Officers have made two arrests after responding to a report a drink was thrown at a man in Clacton.
“We were called to the area of Marine Parade East, Clacton, at around 2.10pm today.
“A 25-year-old woman, from Clacton, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault.
“While officers were responding and making this arrest, a second individual, a man, was arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker.”
Speaking at the rally in Clacton, Mr Farage said the Tories deserved to be punished for their ‘betrayal’ over Brexit.
“We made an offer to the British people, we could get back our independence and control of our borders.
“But what has happened? The Conservatives have betrayed that trust. They’ve opened up the borders to mass immigration like we’ve never seen before.
“And they deserve to pay a price for that, a big price for that.”
