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.
