Nigel Farage said "I suppose we call that a win" after the small boat migrant who threatened to kill him was jailed for five years. Afghan national Fayaz Khan, 26, made the threat to kill the politician in a TikTok video last year.
Speaking outside Southwark Crown Court, Reform UK leader Mr Farage said: "Well, I suppose we call that a win. It was about the maximum sentence that could possibly be given, five years, given the scale of the offence. And I thank Justice Steyn. I thank the judge for saying what she said.
"But the fact is that in 18 months time this violent criminal, somebody with 17 convictions in Sweden, in 18 months time he will be in this country, living in a house of multiple occupancy or a hotel, free to walk the streets whilst his asylum claim is judged."
