Despite her announcement, Farage had precious little to celebrate, with a spate of milkshake attacks meaning at one point he was trapped on the Brexit Party battle bus as he hid from dairy-laden protestors. The Brexit Party did get on the front foot during the month, with Guido readers loving Farage attacking Marr’s ridiculous line of questioning in the run-up to the Euro elections, and Richard Tice suing an SNP MEP for libel.
