REFORM UK leader Nigel Farage has suggested that his rival party leader Zack Polanski should be arrested over a post on Instagram featuring a guillotine.

Polanski, the leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, had shared an image of a man giving a peace sign while wearing a T-shirt which read: “We’re only making plans for Nigel.”

Alongside the slogan, the T-shirt featured an image of a guillotine. The T-shirt appears to have been worn at a “Green Party party” in Bristol, posts from which Polanski has been widely sharing on his Instagram feed.
