Culture Secretary 'disappointed' with Lineker tweet
Lucy Frazer, the Culture Secretary has spoken in the Commons today about the social media row Gary Lineker has found himself in the middle of.
The Match of the Day presenter tweeted that the government's immigration bill was like that of 1930's Germany.
Answering a question from Sir John Whittingdale if the midterm review would require BBC presenters to be politically impartial, Lucy Frazer expresses her disappointment at the comparison, and says "it is important for the BBC to maintain impartiality".

A Moroccan asylum seeker has been sentenced to life in jail for murder, with a minimum term of 45 years, at Teesside Crown Court. In October last year, 45-year-old Ahmed Alid stabbed Iranian Christian convert Javed Nouri at the house he was sharing with other asylum seekers before looking for more victims in Hartlepool town centre. He then stabbed and killed 70-year-old Terence Carney who was out for his regular early morning walk. Alid told police he had committed his crimes out of “revenge” for Israel killing children in the Palestinian conflict. Report by Jonesia.
