Nigel Farage effigy stabbed, strangled and mock executed in disturbing video
An effigy of Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has been stabbed, strangled, and mock executed in a disturbing video on social media.
The video captures a masked person stabbing the effigy with a knife, first in the face before slashing at the torso.
The masked person then moves to use a grater on the groin area before strangling the mannequin.
The effigy is then strung from a tree and repeatedly punched and kicked.
The account that posted the video does not appear to be accessible at the time of writing.
Mr Farage has not responded to the footage as he gears up for local elections commencing on Thursday.
The Reform leader was seen earlier today in St Helen’s as he made the final stop on his election campaign.
In an exclusive interview with GB News last week, Mr Farage said that stopping illegal migrant boat crossings was "vital for several reasons".
These were "to make women and girls safer in Britain. Two, as a matter of national security. Three, as something costing billions of pounds a year. But number four is even bigger than the first three - re-establishing trust between voters and Government".
He added: "The last six Prime Ministers have said publicly, on camera and to you, 'if you come here illegally, you won't be allowed to stay'. But the truth is, they are.
"So if Reform were to win the next general election, that is the thing we would have to solve in three months."
Mr Farage said the UK "would have to be" outside the European Convention on Human Rights for this to happen, adding: "We are going to have to crack on."

He said he had hammered out terms over lunch with French politician Jordan Bardella, president of the right-wing National Rally since 2022, who he said was "odds on favourite to be the next premier in France".
He said: "I have sat with Jordan Bardella, who is odds on favourite to be the next premier in France. I took him for lunch in London. It was one of those lunches, the best French wines and some good food. The French - you got to look after them.
"And then sort of as pudding approached, I said, 'well, I am very sorry, Jordan, but we've given you 800 million quid already, and this is before the next 660 million quid that's been promised.
“I'm really sorry. Unless you stop this, I'm going to get the Royal Marines to tow boats back to France'.
