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 drink as he left the Moon and Starfish Wetherspoon pub in the Essex seaside town.
Thomas Bowen also admitted criminal damage after causing £17.50 worth of damage to a jacket belonging to Mr Farage’s security officer James Woolfenden.
She had originally denied the charges and was due to go on trial this morning, but she changed her please to guilty just before proceedings started.
