The current row began after Polanski shared a single post on Instagram that contained a carousel of 20 pictures. Reform UK leader Farage claimed the t-shirt amounted to incitement to murder and his party reported it to the police. She said that her party leader had "made a mistake", adding "we've all done it and got flak." Along with relatability, comes popularity: Polanski is the second-most followed UK leader on Instagram after Nigel Farage. One party source said there had been discussions among councillors and activists about whether Polanski was "too online".
