Nigel Farage - a man who has previously called for politics to play no part in football - up a Reform UK football club.
Or for the handsome sum of £99.99 you can get a shirt signed by Farage himself, in the latest sign of Reform increasingly resembling a cult.
It wasn't long before many people pointed out the irony of Farage using football fashion to make advertise his party, with the Clacton MP having predictably been someone who called for politics to be 'kept out of football.'

"Let's keep politics out of football this summer."
Commenting underneath Farage's video announcement of 'Reform FC', one person said it was "another u-turn from Farage and Reform.'
Others were simply bemused as to why Reform had decided to launch football shirts.
