Gary Lineker ‘wasn’t prepared to back down’ over migrants tweet that saw him suspended from Match of the Day

Read our privacy policy Gary Lineker has insisted his tweet about the government’s asylum policy – which led to his temporary suspension as Match of the Day host – was “factually accurate” and “fair”. I talked about the use of words like ‘invasion’ and ‘swarms’ and ‘criminals’ and ‘rapists’, which I think we should be very careful about because it has real-life consequences.” In the clip that started the row, in which she discussed the Illegal Migration Bill, home secretary Ms Braverman said the UK asylum system had been overwhelmed and that hotel accommodation for migrants was costing nearly £7m a day. Tory MPs called Lineker’s comments “foul, ill-conceived and disgraceful”, and Downing Street said they were unacceptable. The row was raised in the Commons when Sir Keir Starmer urged Rishi Sunak at Prime Minister’s Questions to “stand up to his snowflake MPs waging war on free speech” as the Labour leader attacked backbench attempts to “cancel a broadcaster”.
