After that initial exchange, however, Reform is understood to have contacted the club before a visit at the stadium was ultimately arranged.
During that visit, Farage took a tour of the stadium and was allowed to pose for photos and film a promotional video, which included the club’s branding and sponsors.
In the 30-second clip, he can be seen holding a “Farage 10” shirt and sitting in the home dressing room, with at least five “Farage 10” shirts hanging behind him.
The MP is also seen signing the back of an Ipswich Town home shirt, seemingly beginning the message with “To Mark”.
He also talks about the team’s promotion chances and his hopes of becoming prime minister, before ending the video by saying “what a lovely welcome” he had received.
The 61-year-old party leader is MP for the nearby constituency of Clacton in north-east Essex.
