Pub landlord Patrick Tranter, 38, said his 13-month-old son George were badly shaken and both taken to hospital following the smash.

Patrick has been diagnosed with neck and shoulder injuries and possible whiplash.

The dad-of-one slammed the Brexit Party leader for what happened in the aftermath, and said: ‘He didn’t even bother to see if we were OK.’


He added Farage ‘could not possibly have failed’ to hear George’s screams, but instead collected his bag from the boot of the car and ‘vanished’.

He said: ‘He lives two miles away and loves a pint, but he won’t get one from me. Man of the people, my arse.

He added: ‘Once I had ascertained that everyone was OK I made discreet withdrawal from the situation.

‘I didn’t think that me, with a rather a well-known face, going into that situation would have helped anything or anybody.’

He admitted he had visited the George and Dragon before but added: ‘If I’m banned then, it’s not too terrible is it?’

Police have confirmed they are not investigating any offences relating to the crash.
