From the BBC Website:
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has weighed in on the Lineker row.
“It is not impartial for BBC to cave in to Tory MPs complaining about Gary Lineker, it’s the opposite of impartial,” he said, while at the Welsh Labour conference in Llandundo.
“They got this one badly wrong and now they’re very, very exposed.”
Starmer said the crux of the issue was that the government had failed with their asylum system and was looking to blame others.
"What they should be doing is standing up, accepting they've broken the asylum system, and telling us what they're going to do to actually fix it, not whingeing on about Gary Lineker."
