Keir Starmer has urged Rishi Sunak to stand up to “snowflake” Tory MPs calling for the BBC to sack Gary Lineker.<br /><br />The leader of the opposition said the Conservatives had caused a “farcical weekend” which saw the “national broadcaster being accused of dancing to the government’s tune by its own employees.”<br /><br />“Rather than blaming everyone else, why doesn’t he take some responsibility and stand up to his snowflake MPs waging war on free speech?” Mr Starmer asked the prime minister.<br /><br />Mr Sunak responded by calling Labour’s claims “usual political opportunism”.
