BBC suspends Gary Lineker from Match of the Day for impartiality breach

This is a pretty serious thing for the UK. It looks like Lineker has been suspended for criticising the government. Lineker is the highest profile and highest paid presenter on the BBC.

This is with a backdrop where the Richard Sharp the BBC Chairman is Tory party donor and has been accused of helping the former Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, to secure an £800,000 "loan".

I've put that in quotes because it's not entirely clear that Johnson would have ever repaid it.

Right now it looks like Linekar's fellow presenters are refusing to go on without him.
