00:00I had a great visit to Ipswich. It was really, really good.
00:03Great to see what they're doing.
00:05They're so close to getting back to the Premier League, and I wish them well.
00:09A lot of people in Clacton go and support Ipswich.
00:12They're the nearest big football club, and because I'm the neighbouring constituency,
00:16my family have been Crystal Palace for generations.
00:19And last year, hey, we won the FA Cup.
00:21And you never know, I might just be visiting another big football club later this week.
00:27So you don't regret your visit then to it?
00:28Why would I regret it?
00:31Why would I regret it?
00:33Because they're saying you weren't invited necessarily, and it was sort of a stage show.
00:37I received an invitation from Ipswich who knew I was in the area doing a big event.
00:41And as Ipswich Football Club have said, Ipswich Town in the past have invited political leaders
00:46from all different shades of party.
00:49And the only reason this is becoming a story is because of the left-wing mob on X and elsewhere
00:56who attack literally everything I do and anybody associated with it.
01:00It's frankly ridiculous.
