Gary Lineker has extended his thanks to his fans for the "love and support" he received after being criticised Home Secretary Suella Braverman.
The Match Of The Day host compared the language used to launch a new asylum policy with 1930s Germany. Mr Lineker was also criticised by immigration minister Robert Jenrick who said he is "so far out of step with the British public" after calling the government's measures "cruel".
Following the criticism on Wednesday, Lineker wrote on Twitter “anything going on?” and then followed this up with another post saying the “freedom of speech champions” were “demanding silence from those with whom they disagree”.
