It was a tale of two cities. No... A game of two halves. He tweets, he scores… OK, we’ve all had enough of the lame football puns. But this stooshie between Gary Lineker and the BBC has been extraordinary. And it creates a bigger headache for the Conservative Party, who blundered into this and got absolutely humped.
We all know that if Lineker, right, had tweeted how much he liked the Tories, he would have been praised to the rafters, invited into No 10 and probably be offered a peerage against the opening strains of the MOTD theme tune. But he didn’t. Rightly or wrongly, he doesn’t like the Tories. The tricky issue for them right now is that not that many people do. And what are they going to do about it? Who are they going to go after next? Because it’s a really long list.
