"Nigel Farage tweeted from his X account with images likening to when a new signing has been revealed, with the caption, 'I've never been too bad on the right wing,' which is a political play on words."
"Football clubs are the social hub of thousands, and many people with different social, economic and political beliefs and values will all have the club they support in common."
"This tweet has most definitely caused a slight rift in the fanbase, with some praising Farage's ideas and supporting Ipswich for allowing him into their club."
