A driver who allegedly wound down her window to swear at Nigel Farage crashed into a BMW moments later. The accident, caught on video during the Reform UK leader's visit to Clacton on Tuesday evening, was shared by Mr Farage online.
Instant Karma
The Vauxhall driver appeared to swear out of her window at the Reform UK leader before running into the back of a BMW that had stopped at a red light. Posting the footage on X, he said: "This lady shouted abuse at me and then crashed her own car. That's what you might call instant karma!"
Previous Incident
Mr Farage was doused with a McDonald's banana milkshake outside a pub in Clacton in 2024 after announcing he would stand for election in the constituency. Reform UK MPs are being given round the clock security protection after the death of Ann Widdecombe.
By-Election Details
Mr Farage will face a record 33 rival candidates in the by-election he triggered in protest at media and parliamentary scrutiny of his finances and backers. The main Westminster parties are boycotting the Clacton by-election, dismissing it as a stunt by the Reform UK leader, leaving joke candidate Count Binface and actor-turned-politician Laurence Fox as his highest-profile opponents. Mr Farage wanted the contest to be a "people versus the establishment" showdown but he is now facing opponents including three from the Official Monster Raving Loony Party and an array of independents.
