Poisoning, amputating, drugging, or brain-damaging anyone who is unable to resist and refuses to consent is wrong.

Yet, animals from mice to monkeys are forced to suffer this fate and much worse in labs. #StopAnimalTests

RIP MOTD tomorrow

[Alan Davies @alandavies1]

Don’t come by boat, would be my advice

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

I am sensing that Richard Sharp shares the total lack of self-awareness, self-respect and understanding of what public service means with Johnson, Dacre, Dorries and the rest of the right wing cabal

[Paul Foot @paulfoot]

I have just arrived in Australia, and wasn't due to present @BBCMOTD this week anyway, so I realise it's pretty unlikely, but if I am asked to stand in for @GaryLineker I will refuse. #SolidarityWithGary

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

There is no need to have a debate on Gary Lineker.

Two words - ‘Andrew Neil’ - means this is an open and shut case.

The BBC allowed its main politics presenter to run a hard right magazine, and espouse right wing opinions on social media.

There’s nothing more to say on this!

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Important message from a journalist who, sadly, cannot speak out because of his contract of employment.

[Rick Edwards @rickedwards1]

Here's a fun question I've been pondering: if @GaryLineker had tweeted something else overtly political, along the lines of "thank goodness the government are finally getting a grip on the small boats crisis #bravobraverman" would he be presenting #MOTD tonight?

[Sonja Stringer @SonjaStringer2]

@theipaper @janemerrick23 Absolutely marvellous to hear both Anna Soubry and Alastair Campbell on Sky this evening utterly trashing this Tory govt and all it stands for. This Linekar development is going to be just the beginning of a real revolt against everything we are enduring now.

[Peter Kay (🦋@theonlypeterkay.bsky.social) @theonlypeterkay]

@campbellclaret’s righteous indignation: “This isn't about Gary Lineker this is about whether we, as a country, understand the seeds that are being sown by this authoritarian right wing government that now has got a grip of the conservative party and a grip of this government. 1/

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

He did NOT - for the nth time - compare the policy to 30s Germany. He said the language used in the debate was redolent of etc … lazy journalism is a curse in this country.

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

No idea if Lineker thing works out well or badly for No.10. All I know is we did something despicable this week which will damage thousands of lives. And because of Braverman, Fleet Street and the Beeb, we've spent it fixated on a fairly harmless tweet by a sports presenter.

[Marion Langford 🌠💙🇺🇦 @LallyLangford]

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

[Michael Chessum @michael_chessum]

In 2011, Jeremy Clarkson called for striking workers to be "shot in front of their families". He continued to present Top Gear for another four years.

After criticising plans to criminalise asylum seekers, Gary Linekar has lasted three days.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Alastair Campbell is absolutely smashing the shit out of this tonight.

The corruption of Sharp and Johnson needs to be pointed out on national TV, but the fact he said it live on BBC News after they tried to undermine his viewpoint, is delicious. Legend. https://t.co/RgItKK5mB1

[Armando Iannucci @Aiannucci]

Still no analysis from main #bbc1 news programmes on whether @GaryLineker’s tweet was accurate.

[C W Gordon @CraigGordon1]

Incredible scenes right now with @campbellclaret on bbc news re @GaryLineker 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
