"Are we seriously having the discussion that a tweet from Gary Lineker has done more damage to the BBC's impartiality, than your chairman who sorted an £800,000 loan for Boris Johnson?" Alastair Campbell ALASTAIR CAMPBELL - follow for more

@campbellclaret @GaryLineker Well said Alastair! Surprised by Syed’s position. He said some peculiar things on Question Time recently too

@campbellclaret @GaryLineker He’s started to drink the Kool Aid 🤷‍♂️

@GaryLineker @campbellclaret She tried to shut you up and failed @campbellclaret Excellent stuff

@campbellclaret @GaryLineker Alastair absolutely hammering BBC hypocrisy - and Matthew Syed - in the process. This was great to watch.

@GaryLineker @campbellclaret @campbellclaret absolutely owning the debate, because he knows his facts, he has a concrete argument and is right

@GaryLineker @campbellclaret Matthew Syed has just plummeted massively in my estimation

@campbellclaret @GaryLineker Fantastic @campbellclaret. The BBC need to get some balls (no pun intended) and stand up to this Tory party. These BBC reporters should be the ones standing up for Gary.

@GaryLineker @campbellclaret Matthew Syed really believes that when Gary Lineker posts a tweet,that we all think that's the official BBC position? Is he off his rocker or just thinks we're all thick ?

@GaryLineker @campbellclaret And what a major distraction it’s all been away from the government’s actual policies. Another BBC swerve away from the abhorrent Tories.

@cirian75 @GaryLineker @campbellclaret Absolutely nailed it @campbellclaret
