Nigel Farage could be set to shake up politics again today and that’s not just because his party is forecast to win the most votes in the European elections.

A travelling ‘free milkshakes’ stand is being erected at polling stations across Kent, where Farage is standing as an MEP for the South East.

It comes after a seemingly-positive tour of Kent turned a bit sour yesterday (May 22) when Farage got trapped on a bus.

Nigel Farage is stuck on his Brexit bus because people have turned up with milkshake

The Brexit Party leader was visiting Dartford, Gravesend and Rochester to drum up support for today's European Elections.

Concerns about his visit were raised when the politician was doused in white milkshake in Newcastle by what he called a "radicalised remainer".

And at his final stop in Rochester yesterday it went a bit wrong.

Three young men dressed in black with their hoods up and covering their faces with balaclavas were spotted at the back of the crowd.

One supporter said they were carrying milkshakes and Farage was quickly alerted.

As a preventative measure, Nigel was told not to get off the bus.

Driver Michael Botton explained: “We spotted them and now Nigel isn’t getting off the bus.”

The stand, installed by plant-powered drinks brand Plenish, offers the Brexit Party leader (and everyone else) an organic, dairy-free refreshment – which is apparently totally in line with the politician’s values.

It is not known exactly which polling stations the free stand will pitch up at, but they were handing out freebies in Bromley this morning.

Founder Kara Rosen said: “There’s been a lot of talk around milkshakes in politics recently, so we thought we’d offer Nigel one he can actually enjoy – unless he’d prefer it served over his suit.

“Our dairy-free milks have half the sugar, and 30 per cent fewer calories than a regular shake, so they’re ‘milkshakes without the nastiness’. Even if Nigel is drinking one.”

The shake comes in three flavours - chocolate, coffee, and almond butter.

The dairy-free milkshakes are made using almond milk instead of dairy and have less than half the sugar and 30 per cent fewer calories than dairy equivalents.

They are available to buy from Waitrose, Planet Organic and Plenish direct .
