A woman has pleaded guilty to throwing a milkshake over Nigel Farage.
Victoria Thomas Bowen has pleaded guilty at Westminster Magistrates’ Court to assault by beating and criminal damage.
She threw a milkshake over the Reform UK leader outside a pub in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, during the general election campaign on June 4.
Farage was doused in the McDonald’s milkshake as he left the Moon and Starfish Wetherspoon pub in the Essex seaside town.
He had earlier held a rally in the area as part of his campaign to become the town’s MP.
Thomas Bowen, 25, also admitted criminal damage after causing £17.50 worth of damage to a jacket belonging to Mr Farage’s security officer James Woolfenden.

Deputy senior district judge Tan Ikram adjourned sentencing to December 16 and told the defendant: ‘You have pleaded guilty to, in my judgment, two serious charges.
‘This was an unprovoked, targeted attack now on an elected member of parliament.
‘I take a serious view of these offences. I am seeking a pre-sentence report which will consider all options for sentence.’
