Reform leader’s posts on social media spark criticism
‘It’s a slap in the face to supporters and players’
Ipswich Town has insisted it remains an “inclusive and diverse” organisation after Nigel Farage turned a tour of Portman Road into a political campaign event.
During a visit to the ground on Monday, Farage filmed himself inside the home dressing room, held up a shirt with the No 10 and his name on the back, and suggested he was in the running for the manager’s job at the Suffolk club in a promotional video that was posted online.
Farage said that Ipswich, who are third in the Championship table, “are really in contention” to go back into the Premier League. “Let’s hope they do it,” he said, “but if they don’t, I think there’s the chance here, and I’ve had a chat with a few people, of the manager’s job coming up next season and I’m definitely on the shortlist.”
