Nigel Farage has claimed an “illegal migrant” has made a threat on his life after a video showed a young man making aggressive hand gestures while talking about the Reform UK leader.
The Clacton MP, who was twice assaulted on the 2024 General Election campaign, broke his silence on the heavily-circulated footage tonight.
Farage had earlier highlighted how TikToker Mada Pasa was posting about his attempt to reach the UK by crossing the Channel.
Pasa, who is believed to originate from Afghanistan, posted more than 60 videos about his journey across Europe.
He gained nearly 20,000 followers, amassing 230,000 likes and millions of views.
Responding to the alleged death threat, Farage said: “This illegal migrant has made a threat on my life and is now in the UK.
“He is the kind of person we are letting into our country.”
There was no evidence from the video to suggest Pasa has reached British shores.

The Reform UK leader also shared Pasa’s video which was riddled with expletives.
During the video, Pasa said: “English man Nigel. Don’t talk s**t about me. You not know me.
“I come to England because I want to married with your sister.
“Don’t talk about me more. Delete the video. It is not good my friend, you do not know me. I am going to come to England…”

Pasa was heard saying “pop, pop, pop” after making hand gestures and headbutting the camera.
He added: “I’m TikToker, I’m not gang, I am not mafia I am Mafia’s Papa.”
However, human rights lawyer Shoaib Khan rejected the suggestion that Pasa should be deported if he reaches the UK.
He told GB News: “If anything we should be extraditing him to the UK because we want to try him here and we want to prosecute him.”
