In short:

A woman who threw a banana milkshake at British politician Nigel Farage during this year’s UK election campaign has been handed a suspended 13-week jail sentence.

Victoria Thomas Bowen was also ordered to pay about $300 in compensation and complete 120 hours of community service work.

What’s next?

The 25-year-old will not serve time behind bars unless she commits another criminal offence within the next 12 months.
