A death threat to Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has been spotted scrawled on a wall in the heart of London.
In the borough of Camden, a black temporary barrier now bears graffiti with the chilling words: “Death to Farage!”
The daubing was spotted by a commuter on Kentish Town Road, immediately across from the Camden Town London underground station.
GB News understands the Metropolitan Police is now looking into the matter.
Camden Council and Reform UK have also been approached by The People’s Channel for comment.
The disturbing sighting in the capital comes shortly after Reform’s campaign office on Caerphilly’s Cardiff Road was vandalised.
Llyr Powell, who represented Reform in the South Wales town, missed out on snatching the once-safe Labour seat by 3,848 ballots to Plaid Cymru’s Lindsay Whittle last month.
“Now you can f**k off home,” the vandals wrote.

Opening up on the experience of the campaign to GB News, Mr Powell detailed instances where his home was “attacked”, as well as attacks launched on the family homes of fellow campaigners, recalling the “panic” that afflicted him.
“My family had to be kept away. It was an unbearable experience,” the Reform candidate said.
He continued: “I feared for whether it was my own safety, my family, my friends, or even activists that were just giving up their time to campaign for what they believe in. And I was spat on.
“I was attacked in the street outside my office. Security would actually walk me in the morning to get my morning breakfast just because they were concerned about my well-being.”

“It was one of the toughest things I’ve ever done in my life,” Mr Powell said of the campaign.
“From the attacks on the campaign office to glue in the doors, to preventing us getting in, to then actually escalating where I had death threats on a regular basis.
“It just became the norm in the campaign,” he told The People’s Channel.
In recent weeks, a small boat migrant was also jailed for five years after making death threats against Nigel Farage.
In a TikTok video addressed to the Clacton MP last year, Fayaz Khan issued a direct threat.
The Afghan migrant, who has an AK-47 tattoo on his face, said: “I want to come to England to go pop pop pop.”
The Reform leader said he was “happy with the win” following the sentencing hearing at Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday.
However, Mr Farage added he was “deeply, deeply concerned” Khan would be freed in 18 months.
