Nigel Farage has been trapped on a bus in Kent because of three young men wearing balaclavas who were “holding milkshakes”.

Mr Farage, who is the leader of The Brexit Party, was visiting Dartford, Gravesend and Rochester in a bid to get more support for the EU’s elections.

Earlier this week when he was in Newcastle, Mr Farage had a milkshake poured all over him.

Paul Crowther admitted throwing the milkshake and said: “I didn’t know he was in town, I thought this is my only chance”.

After the three young men were seen with the milkshakes in Rochester, Mr Farage was told not to get off the bus.

Driver Michael Botton said to Kent Live: ““There are a couple of guys standing over there with milkshakes, they were going to throw them over him.

“But the police are there, we’ve spotted them and now Nigel isn’t getting off the bus.”

Reporter for Kent Live, Will Rider, said: “Eventually he did come off but he only stepped about a metre away and chatted to some supporters.

"He got back on the bus very quickly.

"In all the other places he stopped off and walked down the high street.

There was a Brexit stall on this high street but he didn't visit it.

"He's gone and everyone has left now."

Following the Newcastle incident, Mr Farage said: “Sadly some Remainers have become radicalised, to the extent that normal campaigning is becoming impossible.

“For a civilised democracy to work you need the losers consent, politicians not accepting the referendum result have led us to this.”
