Nadine Dorries told Gary Lineker to stick to football and was owned into next season
Nadine Dorries has had her say – of course she has – on Gary Lineker and the escalating crisis which is threatening to consume the BBC.
The Conservative MP and former culture secretary took to the airwaves on her Talk TV show to say Lineker was either a presenter or a politician, he couldn’t be both (wait for it, wait for it …)
.@GaryLineker does need to decide though, is he a footie presenter or a candidate for the Labour Party?
We discuss on my show tonight on @TalkTV 8pm !

Alanis Morissette should've said "It's like a Tory MP who moonlights as a telly presenter for outlet funded by a rightwing billionaire discussing the importance of political balance in media." https://t.co/gKqPeRnYrJ

Allow a Tory MP on a channel owned by a right-wing billionaire whose US “news” channel deliberately stoked conspiracy theories about an election for ratings to tell you about the importance of impartial broadcasting https://t.co/8iXAFLFTbB
