Green leader Zack Polanski won't apologise to Nigel Farage over guillotine post

Police are looking into the incident after Reform UK reported the deleted Instagram picture, which featured a shirt referencing Farage alongside a guillotine. Speaking on the BBC on Tuesday, Polanski explained he shared the twenty-image gallery by mistake without spotting the dangerous message. He added he will only say sorry if the Reform leader apologises for putting other people at risk.
