A woman has denied assault after a milkshake was thrown over Nigel Farage during the general election campaign.<\/p>\n

The Reform UK leader was leaving a pub in Clacton-on-Sea on 4 June having launched his candidacy for the Essex constituency when a milkshake was hurled in his face.<\/p>\n

Victoria Thomas Bowen, 25, of St Osyth Road in Clacton, has appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court and pleaded not guilty to assault by beating and criminal damage.<\/p>\n

Mr Farage, who won the seat after the 4 July vote<\/a>, was campaigning at the Moon & Starfish pub on the seafront when the incident happened.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He seemed to make light of the incident later on in the day when he posed with a tray of four milkshakes in the nearby village of Jaywick. <\/p>\n

Ms Thomas Bowen has been released on unconditional bail and is next due to appear at the same court for trial on 21 October.<\/p>\n

Caroline Liggins, representing the defendant, said: “My client strongly protests her innocence and looks forward to fighting these unjust charges in court.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Last month, Josh Greally, 28, admitted using threatening behaviour<\/a> after throwing a coffee cup and another item at Mr Farage as he campaigned in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, on Tuesday, 11 June.<\/p>\n

Greally, of Damsbrook Drive, Clowne, Derbyshire, is due to be sentenced on 28 August.<\/p>\n

“Milkshaking” – the act of dousing public figures with the drink – was recognised as a word by the Collins Dictionary in 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
