A migrant who arrived in the UK on a small boat and threatened to kill Nigel Farage has been posting videos on Tiktok from his prison cell.
Fayaz Khan was jailed last month for posting a video naming the Reform UK leader, making a gun gesture and posting to his tattoo of an assault rifle.
He was sentenced to five years in prison and also another eight months for arriving in Britain illegally.
But he is continuing to make the videos from Tiktok account afg203jfjijenh0, with his content liked tens of thousands of times.
One video shows Khan, from Afghanistan, making a shooting gesture and saying: ‘Pop pop pop pop! Madapasa, motherf*****!’

‘Madapasa’ was the username under which Khan posted TikTok videos before his arrest, trial and prison sentence.
Reposting the video, Mr Farage said: ‘This is Mada Pasa, the man recently convicted of threatening to kill me.
‘How is he allowed to continue posting these videos from prison? Britain is broken.’
When Khan made the first threats against Mr Farage, 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 with 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.

‘Don’t talk about me more. Delete the video. I’m coming to England. I’m going to pop, pop, pop.’
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’.
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 Farage.
In a police interview on November 1 last year, Khan said: ‘It was never my intention to kill him or anything – this is my character, this is how I act in my videos.’
The Afghan national added: ‘In every video I make those sounds, I say “pop, pop pop”.’
Mr Ratliff said: ‘If you’ve got an AK-47 tattooed on your arm and your face, it’s because you love AK-47s and you want the world to know that.’
