[Gary Lineker’s recent tweets about
politicians appear to breach the
BBC’s social media guidelines,
the Government’s candidate for chairman
of the corporation has said.

The former England footballer recently hit
back at Grant Shapps after the
Defence Secretary questioned whether
the Match Of The Day host should
express political views.

Lineker was among a group of celebrities
to sign a letter calling for the Government
to scrap its Rwanda scheme
and for political leaders to come up
with a “fair new plan for refugees”.]

Lineker is a mystery .. seemingly flawless yet his brother is supposedly a notorious club owner in the Med who’s a notorious womaniser and has some ‘dodgy’ friends and associates

There's a real determination to shut down his freedom of speech isn't there?

Btw what happened to the woman at the BBC who defended Stanley Johnson? I mean that was far worse given what he did, yet I still haven't heard of any punishment.

Personally I would prefer entertainers to be entertaining too.

However what people say on Twitter (as long as nothing criminal is being said) shouldn't be being punished imo.

Unlike the woman who defended Stanley Johnson whilst working for the BBC, but has yet to be punished by them.

But then this is the same company that worshipped Jimmy Savile, so morality isn't their strongest point.

Short of being outright abusive to someone, Lineker was given the freedom to say what he likes on X

As long as he doesn't go off on tangeants during their programmes, it's none of the BBC's business what he says in his own time.
