A man has been charged after objects were thrown at Nigel Farage while he was on the campaign trail in South Yorkshire. Josh Greally, 28, has been charged with using threatening behaviour towards the Reform UK leader on Tuesday, South Yorkshire Police said. The Reform UK leader was on top of a party battle bus in Barnsley when a cup was thrown, narrowly missing him. Video footage of the incident showed a man in a red hoodie shouting from a construction site below, before reaching into a bucket and throwing something else, which also missed. On Wednesday, South Yorkshire Police said Josh Greally, 28, was charged with using threatening, abusive, insulting words and behaviour with intent to cause fear or provoke unlawful violence. He has been released on bail to appear before Barnsley Magistrates’ Court on June 26. Mr Farage, speaking while campaigning in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, said the incident was “pretty nasty.” It comes just one week after Victoria Thomas Bowen, 25, was charged with assault by beating and criminal damage when a milkshake was thrown over Mr Farage after he left a Wetherspoons pub in Essex.
