🚨 NEW: Reform UK's housing chief Simon Dudley says post-Grenfell safety regulations have gone too far "Everyone dies in the end. It’s just how you go, right? You can’t stop tragic things from happening. Fires do happen" [@theipaper]

Just in case anyone missed it, yesterday, Reform UK took a local Ipswich artist's work, plagiarised it with Ai and posted it as their own. So instead of artist, @louisecobbold79 having her art proudly displayed for being on the match day programme, Farage has hijacked her limelight. As he does … with everything. It's utterly shameful and should be called out for what it is … IP theft. @IpswichTown and @ITFCWomen should publicly condemn this.

@SuellaBraverman This balloon of a woman is hoping you’re stupid enough to not understand the difference between climate change and weather…. Are you?

Politics and football don’t mix? Tell that to Ipswich’s players, who are not happy about Farage’s visit. What a mess, and many tough questions still to answer: theguardian.com/football/2026/… #ITFC

People in Ipswich are relying on foodbanks to survive. Meanwhile, we see PR for Nigel Farage and a party claiming people can live on 30p meals. “No official involvement" from @IpswichTown is no excuse. Football should stand with its community, not platform division. #ITFC

A good week. Getting stuff done. Like everywhere, our town has its challenges, but rather than just moaning about them, I'm going to keep working to solve them. Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive and positive. Together, we are building a new future for Ipswich.

For those of you who realise there was football before the Premier League, the youngest top-flight goalscorer is still Jason Dozzell aged 16y & 57 days #ITFC

Did you see this headline? Did you feel the requisite anger and rage at asylum seekers that The Sun was asking of you? Did you maybe blame Starmer because.... um... it was probably his fault🤷‍♀️ Would you like to know the reality behind the headline? Course you would!😜 Let's take a look 🧵 1/25

Just finished watching #DirtyBusiness on Channel 4 – absolutely disgusting. Water companies pumping RAW SEWAGE into our rivers day after day, killing wildlife, risking lives, all while profits soar. How is this still happening in 2026? Time to demand clean water! #SewageScandal

Enough of the bullshit, enough of the rhetoric, enough of the fiddling around the edges, enough of rearranging the deckchairs, enough of pointless commissions and even more pointless reports, enough of the lying, enough of the deceit, enough of the gaslighting, enough of the masquerade, enough of the pretending it's time for govt to get a grip, to show leadership, to show determination, to do the right thing, to act. It's time to put the water industry back into public ownership and the time to do that is now. But have they got the balls?!

We'll be submitting Ipswich's City of Culture bid imminently. Thank you to everyone who is backing Ipswich. I'm so proud of how far we've come in such a short space of time, and I'm so excited about our future. Join nearly 2,000 people and #BackTheBid: ipswich2029.com

Just because Farage is mates and allies with Nathan Gill doesn't mean he was involved in Russian Bribery. Just because Gill and Farage both voted regularly in favour of Russia as MEPs, it still doesn't mean he was involved. Just because Farage has long praised Putin and appeared regularly on Russia Today, it still doesn't mean he was necessarily involved. Just because Farage has unexplained money he used to buy a house in Clacton, still doesn't mean he was necessarily actually involved. But, it all sure as hell makes him worth investigating.

Merry Christmas from ██████████████ and First Lady Melania Trump 🇺🇸

Whilst The Black and White Minstrel Show and It Ain't Half Hot Mum are clearly racist by modern standards: I dont think even back in the 70s it was ever acceptable to praise Hitler, mock gas chambers, or hurl racist abuse. Farage's press conference yesterday smacked of desperation. What a horrid little turd this man is.

'What culture?' Well... Award-winning parks, stunning waterfront, our iconic football club. New Wolsey Theatre, Danceeast, Red Rose Chain, Eastern Angles. Ipswich Museum, the Regent, Christchurch Mansion. Brighten the Corners, SPILL, Ipswich Book Festival, Ipswich Music Day.
