Reform UK has reported Green Party leader Zack Polanski to the police over an Instagram photo showing a man wearing a T-shirt with a guillotine and the text 'We're only making plans for Nigel,' a reference to Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. Reform UK politician Zia Yusuf called the post 'incitement to murder,' noting it came just over two weeks after the killing of former minister and Reform UK spokesperson Ann Widdecombe. The Green Party stated Polanski 'condemns the image' and said he shared a post without noticing the additional images. Farage commented that if he published something similar, he would expect arrest. Police are reviewing the incident. Widdecombe was found dead on July 9, having been struck 21 times with a hammer; a 28-year-old has been charged with murder.
