Gary Lineker has sparked fury among a number of Tory MPs after appearing to compare Home Office policy to Nazi Germany.
The presenter will reportedly be “reminded of his responsibilities on social media” by the BBC following a tweet reply he sent on Tuesday, The Daily Telegraph reports.
“This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and I’m out of order?” “Instead of lecturing, Mr Lineker should stick to reading out the football scores and flogging crisps.”
