Tories threaten to put ANOTHER crony in charge of BBC as they ignore Gary Lineker's plea

Another Tory crony could be put in charge of the BBC as ministers ignore Gary Lineker’s plea for them to butt out.

Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer insisted Rishi Sunak will pick the next chairman of the broadcaster.

And she threatened to put a Tory in the job, which is supposed to guard the BBC’s independence.
