"A Northumberland Street burger-chain outlet opposite where a Brexit Party leader was addressing crowds was identified as the source of a milkshake thrown at the politician during European election campaigning; the drink splattered him from the chest down and prompted his criticism of a security lapse. The incident is one in a series of recent 'milkshakings' targeting far-right and pro-Brexit figures, and it drew attention to efforts by police to reduce the risk of similar protests by asking nearby fast-food shops (including a McDonald's) not to sell milkshakes while politicians were in the area." - Adam Coghlan
