Deserved. How many elections has he already lost? He needs to get in the sea already.
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.
Is that compilation real?
Seemed to be, but I wasn’t present at any of the result returns of elections he participated in.
it should happen to nigel every day until the election tbh
Heartwarming!
Is this becoming a UK tradition?
With Farage? Yes.
Nice.
Great username btw
Right back at you my winged friend.
This should be put up in a museum
Billy Blueshirt already applauding.
The joy on her face is just priceless
it was staged
FATALITY!
Props to the photographer ready with the optimal camera settings.“Wait, is that a milkshake?”
switches to max iso and 1/8000
Anyone have the soggy, sticky aftershot?
I mean The Independent isn’t that bad of a news source…Would like to point out how clean everyone else is that was a high roll
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.
This guys saving some on his lip for a snack later.
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.
The original article contains 710 words, the summary contains 175 words. Saved 75%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Odd. Why didn’t he just have one delivered to him like a normal person?
I don’t think we should kink shame.

Top tip: you can save valuable time by leaving it in the cup and just throwing that.
Might not be from Maccie Ds as they are expensive. Possibly not even a milkshake, let’s go dairy free for the planet. However, I am sure you can all rummage up something. Not that he’d dare come up here.
Old gee saved from the trash would be best, that smell never comes out
-
Is your local water company irresponsibly releasing sewage into your rivers?
-
Are you struggling to find an environmentally sound liquid to throw over Nigel Farridge?
I wonder if there’s some sort of solution to both these problems? Perhaps there is a way to both help remove a small amount of sewage from the river and also find something to throw at Nigel?
Hmm…
By Jove, this could just work!

mistaken identity i guess.
Thomas-Bowen was arrested by Essex police on suspicion of assault.
However, since the pictures of the event were shared widely online, people falsely identified the woman as Emily Hewertson – a 24-year-old conservative, pro-Brexit media personality, who also works as a House of Commons press officer.
Clarifying that she was not responsible for the incident, Hewertson wrote on Twitter/X: “No, I did not throw a milkshake over Nigel Farage.”.
however, she just did it for publicity;
The woman who threw the drink has been identified as Victoria Thomas-Bowen, who is a 25-year-old OnlyFans model.
but oh well… i hope he gets more milkshakes
Good velocity, fantastic spread, appears to be decent accuracy.
Her: “My milkshake brings all the boys from the yard, and they’re like, it’s better than yours.”
Scotland Yard: “Damn right, it’s better than yours.”
“I can teach you, but I’ll have to charge” - Torries proposal for the future of higher Ed in the country.
Higher? I’m shocked they don’t want to charge for basic.
So Starmer got glittered. Nigel got his traditional milkshaking. What’s Rishi gonna get?
What’s Rishi gonna get?
a golden parachute and literally no consequences
Voted out
Oh sweet Christ I hope you’re right 🤞
All the people cheering it on oblivious to the fact that this just helps Farage and garners more sympathy for him and his party.
She claimed she threw it because “he doesn’t stand for what she believes in”. If only there was some way of expressing that. Like a vote or something. 🤔
I bet she won’t even bother voting.
Perhaps that explains the pic of the 2 of them?
Lol. That’s not her, but unsurprisingly the conspiracy theories have started already. 😂
Already confirmed it’s not her. But the narrative is too strong.
Her name is Victoria Thomas-Bowen apparently. She models…

According to The Sun, or at least I couldn’t find a source that didn’t reference them if it even referenced a source at all. While the whosit the press secretary probably didn’t do it, I’m not sure The Scum is exactly a good source either
“Here’s some evidence that it isn’t this person”.
“Nah, I prefer my conspiracy theory”.
Literally not what I did. I said it’s probably not whatshername, but that I’m not in the habit of trusting The Sun either and it’s as likely that they got it wrong as it is that Twatter got whatshername wrong. There’s probably a reason why eg. The Guardian removed Victoria’s name from their article – and no, it’s not that they think the press secretary did it
I just Googled her name and was provided different sources. But if those sources are referencing eachother I don’t know. For some reason “journalist” don’t have to provide sources.
The ones I checked either didn’t have a source at all, or specifically said they got their information from The Sun
Yup, gets his face on the front pages the same day as the big Labour/Tory debate on ITV. Whoever threw it has done Farage a huge favour.
If only there was some way of expressing that. Like a vote or something
You’re right. We should start throwing things at people we dislike.
I’m sure that will work. 👍
You make a good point, throughout history there have been many times where change began or could only be achieved through direct protest action, not by elections and votes alone.
So long as it’s harmless and raises awareness for how evil and hated by the people of the nation certain groups or individuals are, throwing milkshake, rotten tomatoes and the like, are an excellent idea.
You’re right, throwing food is not enough and kind of a waste.
Wheel out the guillotines.
I’ve looked on Amazon and Ebay and can’t even find tumbrils. I’m a bit stuck, here. Plenty of supplies for the tricoteuses on Etsy, at least.
the fact that this just helps Farage and garners more sympathy for him and his party.
How does this garner sympathy for a fascist pig? Is it some secret cheat code that makes people forget all the evil someone’s done, and make us feel sorry for them instead?
It was milkshake not poison, why should anyone sympathise with him who wouldn’t already have done so, because of this?
It’s called being a decent human being and not thinking it’s acceptable to go around throwing things at people.
It was milkshake not poison
Yeah, it’s not a huge step to throwing acid though, is it?
fascists opted out of the social contract. sometimes being a decent human being means forcing dairy treats into a motherfucker’s face.
it was right when it happened to Anita Bryant and it was right when it happened to Nigel today.
Do you understand what a fascist is? Because it doesn’t seem like it.
I would say that’s quite a big step.
It kind of is actually. Throwing a milkshake isn’t likely to cause much harm, and would probably result in an assault charge. Throwing acid can cause serious disfigurement and possibly death, and a far more serious charge.
You can condemn her actions without the hyperbole. This happened before and it didn’t result in a wave of acid attacks and I’ve no reason to think this time will be different.
I mean, we’ve literally had two MPs murdered in the last 8 years.
It wasn’t “just a milkshake” then, was it?
No, but anyone who would try to establish an equivalence between a milkshaking and a murder is, to put it kindly, perhaps not thinking it through fully.
My point is that all of these types of incidents just mean that politicians are going to end up being more out of reach of the average person, and more out of touch as a result.
People complain about politicians not meeting ordinary people, and this stuff is precisely why they don’t.
No, the stepping stone drug that is a milkshake was probably the start point though. Then protesters craved harder and harder objects to throw at politicians and it ended, as we could all have predicted, by those two poor politicians being crushed under a gargantuan boulder.
If only we had stopped the milkshakes.
No?
