An investigation has opened into a controversy surrounding posters displaying Nigel Farage's face at an anti-racism event. The dispute has since broadened into a wider political row involving Green Party leadership and social media practices.
Reform UK reported Green Party leader Zack Polanski to police after he reposted a photo showing a man wearing a T-shirt that read "Nigel" alongside an image of a guillotine.
