    There’s a possibility that the whole thing was a publicity stunt? This picture has started circulating.

              When I got to the milkshake impact picture I thought to myself “How does someone just impromptu throw a milkshake? Did she practice or something? My aim would be terrible. … Should I practice throwing milkshakes?”

              And then I got to that last picture where it appears the shake chucker is a certified shake sniper, and I realized I should practice throwing them! That woman is a rare talent, and I’d certainly be in the lower third of the bell curve for precision if I tried to deliver a dessert the same way.

    Woman threw milkshake over Farage is OnlyFans model

    The woman who hurled a milkshake over Nigel Farage as he launched his campaign to become an MP is a Jeremy Corbyn-supporting OnlyFans model who hails from a family of Brexiteers, MailOnline can reveal.

    Victoria Thomas-Bowen, 25, was arrested by police on suspicion of assault after she drenched the new Reform leader as he stepped out of a Wetherspoons in Clacton, Essex.

    Dramatic pictures show how the mother-of-one dodged Mr Farage’s burly minders before flinging the contents of a McDonald’s cup towards him. It caught him full in the face.

    Mr Farage, who previously dubbed Clacton the ‘most patriotic’ town in Britain, merely wiped his eyes and continued.

    Speaking from his home in nearby Jaywick, her Brexit-voting brother Paul told MailOnline: ‘I have just seen it, and to be honest, I’m appalled. I don’t know where she is. I don’t want anything to do with her.’

    Despite posting a video on X with the caption ‘my milkshake brings all the people to the rally’ in reference to the 2003 song Milkshake, Farage admitted it was ‘quite frightening’.

    Thomas, who is an OnlyFans model with more than 18,100 followers on Instagram, appears to be a Labour supporter, previously pledging her support to Keir Starmer’s party

    The incident has led to wide condemnation from MPs all across the political spectrum including Labour’s Yvette Cooper who called it a ‘disgrace’ and ‘completely unacceptable and wrong’.

    But Thomas-Bowen, who films her x-rated video clips in the spare bedroom of her mother’s £260,000 house in Grays, told the BBC she flung the banana milkshake because she ‘just felt like it’.

    ‘He doesn’t stand for me’, the self-described ‘petite blonde pocket rocket’ added. ‘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 previously voiced her support for Jeremy Corbyn on Facebook and called for Britons to boycott the late Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

    Last November, the model flew out to Istanbul for a nose job.

    She told her subscribers she underwent the procedure to make her nose ‘smaller’ and ‘prettier’.

    Posting pictures of her recovery - and showing off the difference before and after - Thomas-Bowen said she loved her new nose ‘so much’ and was already breathing better.

    ‘My milkshake brings all the people to the rally!’ Farage jabs back

    Mr Farage was flanked as usual by burly security as he left a pub, but they could do nothing as the women flung the contents of what appeared to be a McDonald’s cup towards him


    They’re was a lot more but I think you get the gist. It was mostly pro farage stuff.

      Wow, even when someone makes a political statement against a certified cunt, the focus is on attempting to shame them on the grounds of morality. I didn’t expect anything else from the Daily Mail.

    I like that this has become a sort of election tradition now lol.

    If I can propose a slight tweak, if you know he’s heading your way might I suggest buying the milkshake about a week beforehand to allow it to reach it’s full potential? Let it level up, so to speak.

        Rember when that dipshit Andy ngo got milkshakes and chids were trying to argue it wad assault because it was actually concrete not milkshake.

        I’m not saying it was concrete, I’m just saying that’s an interesting thought exercise.

          People throwing mysterious liquids over other people is a problem, even if it can be comical. Imagine if it had been one of those nutters throwing bathroom cleaner.

        It’s only a matter of time before you’ll get 20 years for a milkshaking. I remember when that weevil Ngo got milkshaked, there was endless handwringing and gnashing of teeth over it: “What if someone were to put ready-mix concrete in a milkshake cup? Anthrax? An HIV-riddled bloodshake??” And of course, none of those escalations happened, but it clearly discomfited the fringe political enthusiasts.

        It’s important to have non-lethal physical means of expressing derision. It used to be banana-cream pies, but it seems that those days are long gone. “They came for the milkshakers, and I did nothing…”

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A young woman approached the new Reform UK leader on the steps of a pub in Clacton before hurling what appeared to be a milkshake over him.

    Richard Tice, Mr Farage’s predecessor as Reform UK leader, expressed his anger at the incident, adding: “The juvenile moron who threw a drink over Nigel has just gained us hundreds of thousands more votes.

    A member of staff at the Wetherspoons where the incident occurred suggested the thrower could have been lying in wait for the politician to arrive for an hour.

    The Moon & Starfish worker, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Independent three police officers had just come into the pub looking for the mystery woman who threw what is believed to be a banana flavoured milkshake.

    Mr Farage had kicked off his general election campaign in the seaside town earlier on Tuesday, as he promised to be a “bloody nuisance” in Westminster.

    Speaking earlier at the rally, Mr Farage said: “We made an offer to the British people, we could get back our independence and control of our borders.

      His angry little face every time in Newsnight’s compilation of election result announcements, followed by him having a temper tantrum at a BBC interviewer asking about all his losses. Gold.

      He’s likely to do worse now than in 2015 (his best result to date) when he was agitating for Brexit, notwithstanding dark funding & assistance from Twitter’s new owner, as many of those who thought they wanted to leave the EU have realised it was a mistake.

      That was depressing yet unsurprising. Is there some species of worm that gets into people’s brains and transforms them into influencers? Is there a known cure?
