A WOMAN has been spared jail after pleading guilty to assault by beating for throwing a milkshake over Reform UK leader Nigel Farage.
Victoria Thomas Bowen, 25, doused Mr Farage with the liquid as he left the Moon and Starfish Wetherspoons pub in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, during his general election campaign on June 4.
A witness said the defendant shouted “you f***ing c***” or something similar, deputy senior district judge Tan Ikram told Westminster Magistrates’ Court today.
