Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage Testifies Over Afghan Migrant's Chilling TikTok Threat in UK Court

Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK party, testified at Southwark Crown Court that he feared for his life after Afghan migrant Fayaz Khan posted a TikTok video threatening to kill him, making gun gestures and saying "pop pop pop." Farage described the video as "chilling" and expressed genuine concern about Khan, who has an AK-47 tattoo on his cheek and a history of violent imagery on social media. Khan, who documented his journey to the UK on TikTok and has a large online following, allegedly threatened Farage after the politician posted a video criticizing illegal migration and highlighting Khan's case. Despite Khan's denial of intending to threaten murder, Farage interpreted the video as a serious threat, worried about the migrant being free to walk the streets of the UK. The prosecution emphasized Khan's aggressive social media presence and alleged access to firearms, while the defense argued the video fit Farage's narrative. The court must decide whether Khan's video constituted a credible threat to Farage's safety.
