Nadine Dorries challenged Gary Lineker to stick with football and was picked into the next season

Nadine Dorries has spoken out – of course she has – on Gary Lineker and the escalating crisis that threatens to engulf the BBC.

The Conservative MP and former culture secretary took to the airwaves on her talk TV show to say Lineker is either a presenter or a politician, he can’t be both (wait for it, wait for it…)

.@GaryLineker but has to decide, is he a footie presenter or a Labor Party candidate?

We’ll discuss this further on my show tonight @TalkTV 8 p.m.!

Alanis Morissette should have said: “It’s like a Tory MP, as a TV presenter for an outlet funded by a right-wing billionaire, casually discussing the importance of political balance in the media.”

I…I can only…I can’t…

You couldn’t make that up. If you tried, no one would believe it. It’s just too ridiculous to be true.

And yet it is true. 😂😂😂

Allow a Tory MP on a channel owned by a right-wing billionaire whose US “News” channel has deliberately fomented conspiracy theories about a ratings election to tell you the importance of impartial broadcasting
