Zack Polanski will face no further action after Nigel Farage guillotine re-post

The Reform UK leader reported Mr Polanski to the police for "incitement to murder" after he shared the post.

Officers said they reviewed the reports after receiving a report on Monday evening.

However, the police have confirmed that no further action will be taken in relation to sharing the image online.

They confirmed that a crime should be recorded in relation to the wearing of the T-shirt, referencing the man in the photo.

The Met Police has transferred the case to Avon and Somerset Police, where the event took place.

They will continue the investigation.

A Met Police spokesman said: "We absolutely understand the reaction to this image being shared online, particularly in the context of increasing threats towards politicians.

"We take the safety and security of those in public life, including politicians, very seriously. Where we identify threats we take appropriate action and where there is evidence of offences we will investigate.

“While there will be people who will argue that those who shared the image in this Instagram post should be subject to criminal action, our review has concluded that on this occasion, the threshold is not met.

"We have spoken with those impacted to explain that decision making and to provide reassurance around our ongoing commitment to their security and the additional support available.”

A Green spokesman said: "After attending a public event, Zack accepted a request to collaborate on a post with several images. Once this image was brought to his attention he immediately unshared the post. He unequivocally does not support this type of dangerous message."
