400,000 donated to the Tory party by one person? Holy crap, do you people not have donation limits in the UK? It’s 2023 guys, not 1823.

Come on now, everyone knows we can't have freedom and liberty if we don't let the super rich corrupt politics and the media.

Jermaine Jenas is out as well now. At this rate they’ll just be showing pure highlights and interviews with zero analysis.

It's just so fucking funny that a government desperately struggling for popularity and to seem vaguely competent has started a fight with the football. 

They're idiots. Tried to come for Marcus and had their shit handed to them.

Here's the thing: not only have Andrew Neil et al been posting political tweets for years, so has Gary Lineker. This wasn't substantially different from dozens of his past tweets - except that a government minister, herself an ethical wasteland who thinks nothing of waving two fingers at the law, leaking confidential documents, and briefing against colleagues, seemingly took umbrage at it, backed by her boss, the clumsiest opportunist you will ever see. And then the BBC heirarchy decided to cave in immediately to get it over with by the weekend. Not even a token attempt to resist.

But what they all didn't seem to understand was that the BBC needed Gary Lineker more than he needed them, because guess what, however much they need him, he doesn't need them at all. He clearly enjoys presenting MOTD but it's basically a beloved hobby rather than a job for him. He can get another gig, probably for more money, if he needs it.

There was a point at which this all looked to be going rather well for the government, who'd rather be talking about Lineker's tweet than their rancid little bill. But they screwed it up. Couldn't happen to more despicable people.
