class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Reform UK say they are reporting Green Party leader Zack Polanski to the police after he shared a post to his Instagram which included a photo of a man wearing a top featuring the name &#8220;Nigel&#8221; alongside an image of a guillotine.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Polanski accepted a request to collaborate with another account and shared a series of pictures of a Green Party event on Sunday with his 713,000 followers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">One of the images showed a man wearing a T-shirt which said: &#8220;We&#8217;re only making plans for Nigel&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A Green Party spokesperson said: &#8220;Once this image was brought to [Zack&#8217;s] attention he immediately unshared the post. He unequivocally does not support this type of dangerous message.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, criticised Polanski on X. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Sharing a screenshot of what Polanski had reposted, he said: &#8220;If I was to post anything as inciteful then I would expect to be arrested, and so should Polanski.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It is understood Reform UK are reporting Polanski to the police. The party&#8217;s home affairs spokesperson, Zia Yusuf, said &#8220;this is incitement to murder&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"image\" class=\"ssrcss-l7emlr-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"image\" class=\"ssrcss-1uy5kw5-FullWidthWrapper ep2nwvo1\">\n<figure class=\"ssrcss-hc6arm-StyledFigure e34k3c22\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-ab5fd8-StyledFigureContainer e34k3c21\"><span class=\"ssrcss-ngxed1-Placeholder etlorgc0\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/240\/cpsprodpb\/6fad\/live\/133a6af0-dc98-11ef-bc01-8f2c83dad217.png.webp 240w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/320\/cpsprodpb\/6fad\/live\/133a6af0-dc98-11ef-bc01-8f2c83dad217.png.webp 320w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/480\/cpsprodpb\/6fad\/live\/133a6af0-dc98-11ef-bc01-8f2c83dad217.png.webp 480w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/624\/cpsprodpb\/6fad\/live\/133a6af0-dc98-11ef-bc01-8f2c83dad217.png.webp 624w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/800\/cpsprodpb\/6fad\/live\/133a6af0-dc98-11ef-bc01-8f2c83dad217.png.webp 800w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/976\/cpsprodpb\/6fad\/live\/133a6af0-dc98-11ef-bc01-8f2c83dad217.png.webp 976w\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Thin, red banner promoting the Politics Essential newsletter with text saying, \u201cGet the latest political analysis and big moments, delivered straight to your inbox every weekday\u201d.
