Nigel Farage drenched in milkshake AGAIN after vowing to make Tories pay for betrayal
NIGEL Farage was drenched with MILKSHAKE by a young woman today as his general election campaign got off to a soggy start.
The Reform Party leader left his event in the Essex seaside town of Clacton when he was ambushed with the McDonald’s banana drink.
It is the second time the Brexit champion has been swilled – having been splattered head-to-toe in Newcastle in 2019.
Mr Farage had just left the Moon and Starfish Wetherspoon where he kicked off his battle for Parliament when he was targeted.
A blonde woman hurled her milkshake at the Reform leader from point-blank range.
The new Reform leader arrived to chants of “Nigel, Nigel, Nigel” from hundreds of adoring followers in Clacton.
He urged them to send him to Parliament to “be a bloody nuisance” before promising: “You won’t get any woke, PC, nonsense from me.”
The leading Brexiteer sent Tories panicking yesterday as he announced he would after all stand in the election and replace struggling Reform leader Richard Tice.
Addressing the large crowd in the seat he will fight for on July 4, he said: “I will stand up and fight for you, I will give you my best and I will do what I have done for the last quarter of a century in politics.
“I will be unafraid, despite what everybody says, despite what names they call me, they are so stupid it only encourages me really, in fact, send me to Parliament to be a bloody nuisance.”
Declaring war on the Tories, Mr Farage accused them of “betraying” the trust of voters, adding: “They opened up the borders to mass immigration like we have never seen before and they deserve to pay a price for that. A big price for that.”
He also promised the crowd: “I do know one thing — a woman can’t have a penis.
“You won’t get any woke, PC, nonsense from me because I’ve always told it as it is and stood up for what I believe in.”
Some of the people gathered at the launch told The Sun that only Mr Farage could rescue Clacton from its status as one of the worst-rated seaside towns in the UK.
Longtime resident Peter Tokley, 82, said: “I think we should give him a go. I wasn’t going to vote for anyone but now he’s running we should see what he can do.”
The Conservatives held Clacton in 2019 with a majority of 24,702 in an election in which the Brexit Party, led by Mr Farage, stood down candidates to help then-Tory leader Boris Johnson.
Clacton was the scene of a Ukip by-election win in 2014, triggered by Douglas Carswell’s defection from the Tories.
