🚨 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]

@CallMeStat Absolutely!

@bobsnow19755137 Nail on head!

@ImogenGBlake 💯- and it always always comes from arrogance if this is the path taken. Percieved Untouchability that leads to digging a hole so deep you can never escape

As someone who works in PR - this week's shambolic comms from ITFC is exactly what they teach you *not* to do in crisis comms training

If ITFC would like new PR advice, I am available for a fee

ReachTractors celebrates the diversity of Ipswich Town fans across race, ethnicity and cultural heritage. With 100+ years supporting Town, we know football is strongest when everyone feels they belong. We’re focused on listening, learning and bringing fans together #itfc

- Turned the footballing world against us. - Divided the fanbase. - Added a totally unnecessary distraction/pressure during a promotion push. - Lied about the whole thing to fans, staff & media. Consequences are up for debate but no one can argue “it’s no big deal”. #itfc

A disasterclass in crisis comms from Ipswich

Ipswich Town is a special football club. They’ve got so many things right over the past five years and beyond. But they got this badly wrong - and now they should apologise. My thoughts ⬇️ #itfc eadt.co.uk/sport/25969817…

💙 In Defence of @IpswichTown: 🌍 Outstanding @ITFCFoundation – huge impact with youth, inclusion, and refugee support in the Town. 🏡 Deep community roots – from local brewers in the Cobbold family to agricultural giants like Fison and today – @edsheeran. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧EFL Family Excellence Gold Award – Offically one of the most ‘family friendly’ clubs in the nation. 🧑‍🚒New ownership – built up the “running towards adversity” brand of hope and resilience alongside Jason Schechterle. And we’ve made an absolute fortune for the Arizona Firefighters pension fund! 🏳️‍🌈 Progressive history – Alf Ramsey supporting a gay player in the 1950s who faced prosecution. 🧒 Empowerment Hub Youth Centre – Great support for local youths in Stoke area of town. ⚽ Excellent Academy – Long tradition of great local academy players. 💷 Fair pay – all staff paid at least minimum wage (unlike the budgies!) 📈 Economic boost to the town – ~£500–£600m impact through promotion in 2024 alone. 🐎 Part of Suffolk’s identity – a true one-club county. 🏆 Historic pedigree – founding member of the Premier League member + legacy of Bobby Robson & Ramsey 🏟️ Portman Road is one of the great old football grounds of the game (since 1884). 💇‍♂️ Wes Burn’s (ex) ponytail and THAT goal against Coventry. 🧤Marcus Stewart's gloves.

@NickAmes82 Really good piece, interesting detail about the men's first team players and what they thought of the debacle.

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

Invariably, the best PR policy is to put your hands up as soon as you can and admit you got it wrong. #itfc

Feel incredibly sorry for all the decent #itfc fans who want nothing to do with this circus

What happened to keeping politics out of football?

Excited to start my new job as head of PR for @IpswichTown! International break just started so should be a quiet day in the office, wish me luck!

The people criticising Hannah Spencer's outfits are the absolute last people in the entire country who should be giving fashion advice.
