Green Party leader Zack Polanski has doubled down on his refusal to apologise for sharing an image of a T-shirt depicting Reform UK leader Nigel Farage next to a guillotine, telling critics "I've not done anything wrong." Farage has escalated his response, writing that Polanski "must face consequences" for what he called an "appalling" tweet, and linking the row directly to the recent murder of a woman named Ann as evidence that threats of political violence carry real-world risk.

Farage argues the timing makes the image especially troubling, citing Ann's killing as proof that such imagery cannot be dismissed as a joke or metaphor. Polanski has held his ground despite mounting pressure, declining to withdraw the post or issue an apology, while Reform figures and other critics continue to press for him to be sanctioned or to step back from the row entirely.
