gary lineker
The broadcaster said Gary would step back from Match Of The Day until it agreed a "clear position on his use of social media".
BBC says presenter's recent social media activity is a "breach of our guidelines".
James Cleverly suggested Gary Lineker read the “history books”.
The Good Morning Britain host weighed in on “preposterous” calls to sack or silence the BBC sports presenter during an appearance on Question Time.
"Now, let’s all of us, please, start talking about something else".
Penny Mordaunt compared the Match of the Day host to the Labour Party in a bizarre speech.
After all, the Match of the Day host is not the one who decides national asylum policy.
The Match Of The Day host said he stood by his condemnation of government plans to stop migrant boats crossing the Channel.
“I’ll continue to try and speak up for those poor souls that have no voice.”
The Labour leader's spokesperson said it was not "a surprise" to see the BBC presenter defending refugees.
