Richard Madeley has spoken out in support of Gary Lineker - despite branding his comments "stupid".
The football commentator came under fire from the Tories after he compared the proposed government policy for immigration to Germany in the 1930s. At the time, he wrote a tweet: "There is no huge influx.
"We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the '30s."
