This clip of Gary Lineker from 2021 feels relevant to where we are now. He outlines his interest in 'refugee issues', how he considers himself a freelancer, how Tim Davie's never called to say 'you can't tweet that' - and that he doesn't think 'they could do that anyway'.
Let's all demand the full suspension of:-
Fiona Bruce
Laura Kuenssberg
Richard Sharp
Tim Davie
Robbie Gibb
Until Gary Lineker is allowed to resume with being gagged. This right wing censorship IS now reminiscent of 1930s Germany and present day Russia and must stop #ImWithGary
This is dynamite from Kaveh Solhekol on Sky Sports News. Absolutely nails it. He has the Tories and BBC on toast. Well done!! 👏 Take 2 mins and watch👇#garylineker#ImWithGary#MOTD#ToryFascists
It turns out the crazy day is not over. I’ve just had a text - after 1.30am - from Downing St saying tonight’s fracking vote was always a confidence vote, that Downing Street made a mistake in telling the minister at the despatch box it wasn’t, and that Tory MPs…
Wow. Tory MP William Wragg is angry.
He’s been ordered to vote against his wishes in the fracking debate.
If he voted freely - he’d lose not just the Tory whip… but all his positions.
But most importantly, he wants to stay a Tory to oust Truss. 🔥
Chronology of the madness:
* Graham Stuart told by No 10 to announce 3-line whip suspended
* Nobody told chief whip Wendy Morton, who quit on spot
* Deputy chief whip Craig Whittaker also gone, he's 'absolutely fucking furious'
* Truss barracked by own MPs in voting lobby
Wow! Wow! Wow! This is the most incredible @UKLabour video I have ever seen. It completely eviscerates 12 years of conservative Government. And what is so astonishing about it is it’s all done by Conservative MP’s! It should be playing on a loop
@ChrisMasonBBC You probably won't see this but is there a typo in the last sentence, either I'm reading it wrong or it doesn't seem to make sense? Great work over the last few days and hope you get some rest.
There’s a growing view among ministers that Boris Johnson should go immediately and Dominic Raab should become interim PM and reappoint all resigned ministers https://t.co/ftMXEq8Ixv
Boris Johnson needs to hand in the seals of office, apologise to Her Majesty & advise her to call for a Caretaker Prime Minister.
To take over today so that Ministers can get back to work & we can choose a new Conservative Leader to try & repair the damage & rebuild trust.
Boris Johnson should not be allowed to stay on as caretaker PM - his disregard for the office and constitution over the past hours and months makes it untenable - that he should get to refill the cabinet and keep the likes of Dorries and JRM in post who propped him up #Borisout
He wanted to be in office for three terms, become a new Churchill. Today, on the day of his resignation, Boris Johnson instead ties with Neville Chamberlain for number of days in No 10. He’s still behind Theresa May and Jim Callaghan.
