Farage Reports Polanski to Police Over Instagram Post

Full Summary — powered by AI

Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, has filed a police report against Green Party co-leader Zack Polanski concerning a social media post. The Instagram post, which has since been deleted, depicted a man wearing a T-shirt featuring a guillotine and the phrase “We’re only making plans for Nigel.” This slogan is a reference to a 1979 XTC song and is believed to allude to Farage.

Farage publicly stated on Twitter/X on Monday, July 27, 2026, that if he were to post anything similarly “inciteful,” he would expect to be arrested, and that Polanski should face the same. Reform UK’s home affairs spokesperson, Zia Yusuf, further criticized the post, calling it “inciting murder” and highlighting that it appeared just two weeks after Reform UK spokeswoman Ann Widdecombe was reportedly murdered. Prosecutors indicated last week that Widdecombe was allegedly hit 21 times with a hammer in a “planned and targeted” attack.

A spokesperson for the Green Party of England and Wales confirmed that Polanski had accepted a request to collaborate on an Instagram post containing multiple images after attending a public event. They stated that once the image was brought to his attention, Polanski immediately unshared the post and “unequivocally does not support this type of dangerous message.” The Metropolitan Police confirmed on Monday, July 27, that they received a third-party report regarding an image shared on social media and are conducting inquiries into the matter.
