Tory MPs call for Gary Lineker to be sacked after comparing new migration policy to Nazi Germany on Twitter

Conservative MPs have called for the sacking of BBC football presenter Gary Lineker after he compared the government’s migration policy to Nazi Germany. The Match of The Day host commented on Twitter in response to a video of Suella Braverman, in which she unveiled plans to stop the surge of migrants crossing the Channel.

The BBC host, who is said to be the highest paid presenter at the corporation, tweeted in response to the video by the Home Secretary: “Good heavens, this is beyond awful.” Someone then accused him of being “out of order”, claiming that the communities are already “feeling unsafe” and “devastated” by the influx.
