A woman who threw a McDonald’s milkshake over Reform UK leader Nigel Farage during the general election campaign has pleaded guilty to assault by beating.
Farage was leaving a pub in Clacton-on-Sea on 4 June having launched his candidacy for the Essex constituency when a drink was hurled in his face.
Victoria Thomas Bowen, 25, of St Osyth Road in Clacton, had previously denied the charge at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
Mr Farage, who won the seat after the 4 July vote, was campaigning at the Moon & Starfish pub on the seafront when the incident happened.
