Farage: Lefty mob trying to shut me down

The Reform UK leader had what he believed to be wet cement thrown at him as he stood on the open top deck of his battle bus in Bradford.

Workmen then appeared to haul the man from the site and he ran before he was then tackled by police.

But speaking later at a rally in Great Yarmouth last night, Mr Farage said he would not stop because "I actually like going out meeting people".
