Nigel Farage has criticised the suspended sentence given to a woman who assaulted him during the general election campaign by throwing a milkshake.
The Reform UK leader hit out after deputy senior district judge Tan Ikram sentenced OnlyFans model Victoria Thomas Bowen to 13 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months.

Mr Farage, who was subsequently elected MP for Clacton, was doused with the liquid and hit by the cup after it was thrown as he left the Moon and Starfish Wetherspoon pub in Clacton-on-Sea on June 4.
In a post on social media after Monday’s hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, Mr Farage said: “We now live in a country where you can assault a Member of Parliament and not go to prison.
“The latest example of two-tier justice.”
