The Labour leader accused the PM of “hiding behind the playground bullies” after his own MPs demanded the BBC sack Gary Lineker
Speaking across the House of Commons from Mr Sunak at PMQs, Sir Keir said: “Last summer the Prime Minister said he wanted to protect free speech and stop no platforming. In light of that, how concerned was he about his campaign from Tory MPs to cancel a broadcaster?”
The Prime Minister said it was a matter for the BBC and Mr Lineker to resolve, adding that he is glad they have come to an agreement.
