Nigel Farage has mocked a heckler after she crashed her car moments after shouting an insult at him.
The Reform UK leader, who was campaigning in Clacton, can be seen standing beside a road with some colleagues when the incident occurred. A grey Vauxhall Astra drives past, and a woman can be heard shouting “w***er” out of the open window.
Crash after insult
However, she seemingly doesn’t see that the traffic lights ahead have turned red - and plows into the car in front, much to the amusement of Farage’s supporters watching on. One person can be heard to retort: “She won’t be doing that again in a hurry.”
Mr Farage posted a video of the incident on X, along with the caption: “This lady shouted abuse at me and then crashed her own car. That’s what you might call instant karma!”
Clacton by-election
It comes ahead of the Clacton by-election on August 13, in which Mr Farage will take on Count Binface and dozens of other independent candidates.
The by-election was triggered when the Reform leader stood down as MP on July 7 amid media and parliamentary scrutiny of his finances and backers.
All major political parties are boycotting the Clacton by-election, dismissing it as a stunt following controversy surrounding Mr Farage’s undeclared £5 million donation from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne.
Mr Farage remains under investigation by Parliament’s standards commissioner over the gift.
