A migrant who arrived to the UK via a small boat before threatening to kill Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has been jailed.
Fayaz Khan, from Afghanistan, said he was going to shoot Farage during a Tiktok post when he got to Britain.
He was responding to a video made by Farage on October 12 last year, in which he highlighted Khan and referenced ‘young males of fighting age coming into our country about whom we know very little’.
But Khan responded wit a video two days later, saying: ‘Englishman Nigel, don’t talk shit about me.
‘You not know me. I come to England because I want to marry with your sister. You not know me.

Prosecutor Peter Ratliff said Khan made ‘gun gestures with his hand’ and was pointing to an AK-47 tattoo on his face to ‘emphasise he wasn’t joking’.
Farage said on Tuesday Khan’s video was ‘pretty chilling’, adding: ‘Given his proximity to guns and love of guns, I was genuinely worried.’
The Reform UK leader added: ‘He says he’s coming to England and he’s going to shoot me.’
Jurors were shown a screenshot of a subsequent TikTok post by Khan with the caption ‘I mean what I say’ written on an image of a GB News report about the alleged threat against Mr Farage.
