    That would be the same Greg Dyke who gave £50,000 to the Labour Party shortly before he was appointed Director General.

    Funnily enough, I don’t recall any of the commentators who are getting upset about the current BBC Chairman being too upset about that…

    Fair comment, CAS – I still think he’s right on this point, though, even though his motives for what he said are open to question.

    It was nice of the England rugby team to show their solidarity in going on strike this afternoon.

    I wonder if Starmer, Thornberry et al in the Labour Party now regret initially suggesting Lineker went too far.

    Starmer’s so obsessed with trying to secure the biggest Labour landslide since 1997 he perhaps isn’t always reading the national room.

    He might be able to support the likes of Lineker (and even Lynch) on some level and still win.

    Would it be that hard to find people capable of doing the BBC top jobs who aren’t closely affiliated with and donors to any political party? It really shouldn’t be the case that any of them have a close relationship with any party.

    Had to laugh at Sunak’s statement that it’s not a government matter.

    No presenters, no commentary on MOTD – a Chezza dream.

    Just shows what can be done though – 20 minutes long condensed from the usual hour+ shows how much bollocks is usually talked on the show.

    Homer’s not wrong – sadly, however, Chezza never watches it anyway.

    Is this not evidence of the butterfly effect ?

    It’s a bizarre world we live in when a tweet by a former footballer takes over the news agenda for days. What he actually said is factually correct and I marvel at how all sides bar Lineker himself have so not read the the room. I hope this wakens up folk to just the total nonsense of the culture wars and how morally bankrupt the current govt is. God knows how the bbc extricate themselves from a mess of their own making. Sacking sharp and davie would be a start and then appointing folk with no political affiliation so they can truly be impartial. Its totally farcical having two huge supporters of the tory party lecturing anybody on impartiality.

    Sadly most can’t see the smokescreen of ” Stop the boats ” is merely being invoked to try and catch the vote of those once in a lifetime Tory voters who voted Tory last time because of Brexit , ” Get Brexit done ” , ” Stop the boats ” one and the same , it’s the dumbing down of politics where the Home Secretary can stand up in the chamber and pollute it with made up numbers and get away with it …

    An explanation of the govts policy from a legal point of view (and some clear up on whether they are illegal and on claiming in the first country)

    Very useful for those who may read the daily mail/express or telegraph (or consume media from other inaccurate sources)

    Well I watched MOTD this morning which was 20 mins long, and my hope is people are thinking I’ve actually got back an hour of my life.

    Hearing there’s live women’s football on BBC2 at lunchtime, hope that extends to this programme too.
    Women’s commentary on football is the worst.
