The moment Mr Farage was targeted by an attacker, throwing objects during an open top bus tour in Barnsley.

A group of builders have told how they intervened to stop a man after he threw a coffee cup and a can at Nigel Farage during an open-top bus tour through Barnsley.

The contractors rushed in to grab the man after he broke into their work site and began grabbing objects to pelt at the Reform leader.

Paul Stott, 52, said the man - who wore a red hoodie - left a nearby pro-refugee protest before running into his work area.

He continued: 'The man in a red hoodie was standing with the protestors at one point and then came over here.

'He grabbed a can and a coffee cup from the bin here and threw them. There was no cement. There was a bottle there but fortunately he didn't get hold of that.

Branding the man a 'moron', he added: 'We turned him out of the compound. He then ran off but the police moved in quickly and grabbed him. There were tools here and our main concern was that the public should not be in this compound.'

Police said Josh Greally, 28, had been charged with using threatening, abusive, insulting words and behaviour with intent to cause fear.

Mr Farage told reporters: 'What we've now got is a mob that want to close down all debate, a mob that are prepared to use violence to achieve their goals, and that for a democratic country is very, very worrying indeed.'

Asked how he felt, Mr Farage added: 'Me? I'm used to it. I don't like it, of course not, this is stopping me doing what I want to do.

'I'm at my best going out, meeting people and talking to them, having a debate with them, going around the pubs or whatever I do. And these violent youngsters are stopping me, it's very, very frustrating.'

'I don't mind if someone shouts something rude at me, I would probably shout it back. But when it comes to violence that actually poses a real threat.'

He called the attack 'violent' and said he would be in hospital now if he had got off the bus.

He said he agrees that people who throw objects during campaigns should 'absolutely' go to jail.

Anti-Farage protestors in Barnsley. There is no suggestion anyone pictured attacked him

The bloke that threw rubble at Nigel Farage comes from Chesterfield, is a trade union activist and is involved with the Unison Organisation.

Sounds as if Lab and Tory are desperate to chuck the dirt at Farage and Reform.

Farage and Reform must be doing a few things right.

Reforms motto could be 'oderint dum metuant'....

Exactly Trymer.
In his own dopey mind he's virtue signalling, something to boast about to his mates.
The truth is if hardened cement or china hits you in the face,you'll need stitches and hope it does'nt catch you in an eye.
He's a thug.

Comments on here,from Oldie eg, trivialising it or some in the media virtually laughing at it only endanger politicians more by 'normalising ' this violence.
In a sick world of eg acid attacks,Islamic lunatics far Left and Right etc,when we've had 2 MPs murdered in recent times the Law needs to sort it out.

Not to mention it's an attack on our free speech and democracy.

Yep,we witnessed their complete lack of respect for democracy, our culture and country in the Brexit episode,especially after Remain lost.
Shocking.

Number of Telegraph readers who will vote Reform doubles..by Ollie Corfe.

Support for Reform UK among Telegraph readers has doubled over the first three weeks of the general election campaign, polling reveals.

A survey of 1,490 readers over three days from June 6 to 9 found that the proportion planning to vote for Nigel Farage’s party has gone from 17 to 31 per cent.

Demographic breakdowns of voting intention show Reform in the lead among 50 to 65-year-olds, with a 39 per cent share – a shift from 23 per cent before Mr Farage announced he was taking over as party leader and standing as an MP.

While this is not the case for over-65s, the gap halved over the week leading up to the latest poll, conducted by the Telegraph analytics and insights team.

The crossover in support for Conservatives and Reform is substantial: just under half (49 per cent) of readers currently planning to vote Reform would cast their ballot for the Conservatives if the party weren’t fielding a candidate in their constituency.

Mr Farage’s return has had a significant impact.

In just the week since Mr Farage’s announcement, support for Reform has risen by 11 percentage points.

More than two in five readers (42 per cent) claimed they were more likely to vote for Reform now that he has taken the reins of the party from Richard Tice.

The edge he commands over his opponents is clear. Two-thirds of readers (66 per cent) agree that Mr Farage is a strong leader, three times the proportion of those who would say the same for the Prime Minister (22 per cent).

In particular, readers are convinced of his ability to mobilise the electorate.

A majority (55 per cent), also agree with the reintroduction of mandatory National Service, with 23 per cent disagreeing and 19 per cent unsure.

The position is clear once again when it comes to Labour’s plan to impose VAT on private school fees. The policy – which could see up to 40,000 fee-paying pupils flock to the state sector, threatening to overwhelm the best schools in some areas – was rejected by 73 per cent of readers.
