Chair says ‘staff are hurting’ after ‘difficult week’
Reform UK leader visited club on Monday
The Ipswich Town chair and chief executive Mark Ashton has apologised for “any hurt, pain or distress” caused by Nigel Farage’s visit to Portman Road this week.
Farage visited the club on Monday, with footage of his trip – including images of the Reform UK leader holding up an Ipswich No 10 shirt with his name on the back – being used by the political party on social media.
The club on Tuesday said it remained “apolitical” after Ipswich fans showed their displeasure on social media, describing the visit as “shameful” and “embarrassing”.
