Gary Lineker has tweeted about "folk" who "constantly tell fibs" less than an hour after Boris Johnson's legal defence over partygate was published. The former prime minister insisted in his written evidence to the Privileges Committee inquiry that his denials over lockdown parties in No 10 were made "in good faith" and based on what he "honestly" knew at the time.
Lineker, 62, was briefly suspended as host of Match Of The Day this month over his criticism of the Government's asylum policy on Twitter, but returned to air following a boycott by top on-air talent at the broadcaster.
The former England striker tweeted: "When folk constantly tell fibs, it's really difficult to know when they're telling the truth. I imagine it's even a challenge for themselves."
