Green Party leader Zack Polanski has refused to apologise after reposting an image of a T-shirt bearing a design showing Reform UK leader Nigel Farage next to a guillotine, insisting he has "not done anything wrong." The row has escalated into a wider political row about political violence and rhetoric, with Farage himself demanding that Polanski face consequences, arguing the image was appalling and pointing to recent real-world violence as evidence of the genuine risks posed by such imagery.

Farage said the timing was particularly troubling given the murder of a woman named Ann, which he cited as proof that threats of violence against public figures cannot be dismissed as harmless. Polanski, who leads the Green Party, has stood firm in his position despite the backlash, declining to withdraw or apologise for sharing the post, while critics including senior Reform figures have called for accountability over what they see as the normalisation of violent imagery against politicians.
