I don't know how those high up at Ipswich Town could possibly think that - complicitly or otherwise - allowing a political party to film an advert in the stadium, discuss the manager, hold up the shirt and display sponsors' names *wouldn't* be widely viewed as tacit endorsement.
Following Monday’s visit by the Reform party and its leader, Nigel Farage, the club would like to issue the following statement: Ipswich Town Football Club has, over several years, hosted representatives from a range of political parties. The club remains apolitical and does not

No - the UK has not legalised “abortion up to birth". We will not let misinformation go unchallenged. An important mythbuster from us 🧵👇

@montie You don’t think it’s reasonable to ask questions about a view which cuts against the long standing British political principle of freedom of religious assembly? Robert Jenrick may be right, he may be wrong- but I think I was well within my rights as an interviewer to ask him
