The BBC Sport presenter branded the Tories' latest plan as 'beyond awful' in a post on social media
Gary Lineker has sparked a BBC impartiality row after branding the Tories' latest plan to imprison asylum seekers entering the UK as 'beyond awful' in a post on social media.
She was joined by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as she formally unveiled the plans to remove and ban asylum seekers from re-entry if they arrive in the UK through unauthorised means.BBC Sport presenter Lineker, who welcomed a second refugee into his Surrey home in October last year, has since criticised the move, retweeting a video of Ms Braverman claiming that "Enough is enough. We must stop the boats" with the words "Good heavens, this is beyond awful".
In the Commons, Ms Braverman told MPs: “For a Government not to respond to waves of illegal migrants breaching our borders would be to betray the will of the people we were elected to serve. They will not stop coming here until the world knows that if you enter Britain illegally you will be detained and swiftly removed.
The Bill allows the detention of illegal arrivals without bail or judicial review within the first 28 days of detention, until they can be removed, Ms Braverman said. Only children under the age of 18, and those who are “unfit to fly or at a real risk of serious and irreversible harm – an exceedingly high bar – in the country we are removing them to will be able to delay their removal”, she added.
