Police 'conducting enquiries' after Polanski shared post appearing to threaten Farage
Reform UK says the deleted post showed a guillotine image and amounted to incitement to murder, prompting a police report and Met enquiries.
Nigel Farage called for Zack Polanski's arrest after Polanski shared an Instagram post featuring a guillotine and the phrase 'We're only making plans for Nigel' on a T-shirt, which Farage described as incitement to murder.
Polanski deleted the post after being criticized, and a Green Party spokesperson stated he did not support the dangerous message and removed it upon learning about it.
Reform UK reported the post to the police, with spokesperson Zia Yusuf linking it to the recent murder of Ann Widdecombe and calling it incitement to murder.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed receiving a third-party report about the image and are conducting inquiries into the matter.
