The Observer - Linekar row threatens to topple BBC chiefs and hit asylum plan

Summary of the front page

The Observer says the Lineker row “threatens to topple BBC chiefs” as well as “derail parts of the government’s controversial new asylum policy”. In its Sunday spread, the paper reports that BBC Chairman Richard Sharp and the corporation’s Director General Tim Davie “were both under growing pressure to resign,” as leading sports and media personalities have continued to defend the football star’s “right to criticise what he regards as racist language used by ministers to promote their immigration policy”.

The front page also reports on the PR drive to promote the new ‘skinny jab’ loved by celebrities and recently approved for NHS use.
