Reform UK has reported Green Party leader Zack Polanski to police over an Instagram post that featured an image of a man wearing a T-shirt with a guillotine illustration. The garment also included the slogan, “We’re only making plans for Nigel,” turning the post into the center of a political backlash.
The complaint appears to focus on the imagery used in the post and its connection to Polanski’s social media presence. Reform UK has treated the image as serious enough to involve police, pushing the dispute beyond a standard online argument and into a formal complaint.
The episode highlights how political messaging on social platforms can quickly become a wider controversy, especially when violent or provocative symbols are involved. In this case, the combination of the guillotine graphic and the slogan has prompted scrutiny of what was shared and how it may be interpreted in a heated political environment.
Based on the available details, it is not yet clear whether police will take any further action. What is clear is that the Instagram post linked to Zack Polanski has become the latest flashpoint in an increasingly sharp political row involving Reform UK and the Green Party.
