(Sky News) An Afghan migrant has been found guilty of threatening to kill Nigel Farage in a TikTok post.

Fayaz Khan, 26, chose not to give evidence in his trial, in which he was accused of threatening the Reform UK leader between 12 and 15 October last year in a video on the social media platform.

Mr Farage said the video was “pretty chilling.”

Jurors deliberated for 11 hours and 55 minutes before finding him guilty at Southwark Crown Court.
