Watch: On the first day of the campaign, a protester struck Nigel Farage with a milkshake
Nigel Farage’s political campaign took an unexpected turn when a milkshake went awry and was thrown at the Brexit Party leader in Clacton, England.
Farage looked like a dairy-drenched dictator with his trademark suit covered in chocolatey goodness after the chilly McDonald’s beverage bombshell.

The Telegraph claims that while the former UKIP leader avoided the delightful surprise, his entourage hurried to save face (and his drenched clothes). Witnesses called it “a real moment of madness” and “udder chaos.” Farage joked, “I guess you could say I’m now a’shaken, not stirred’ politician,” in response to a question.

The milkshake militant, who subsequently revealed her name as Victoria, told the BBC that Farage “did not stand” for her, which is why she threw the drink at the event instead of coming for the drink. Victoria reportedly yelled, “You’re a disgrace to democracy!” before hurriedly leaving the area, carrying an empty milkshake cup.

In a statement, Farage’s team assured supporters that the incident would not break their spirits or impede their campaign’s progress. Rumour has it that Farage is already planning his next move, which could be a shift to a political platform that excludes dairy products. These sources are close to the campaign. A senior aide joked, “We’re thinking of adding a ‘Lactose Intolerance’ plank to our manifesto.” “After all, with the support of the people, who needs milkshakes?” Keep checking back!
