🇬🇧 Gary Lineker, the top-paid TV host on the BBC, will resume his duties after being suspended for a tweet critical of the UK government.

He was placed on leave last Friday for breaching the state-funded network’s impartiality guidelines with a tweet that compared the rhetoric of a UK government official to language used in 1930s Germany. Lineker was reinstated after his colleagues refused to work over the weekend in solidarity with the host, which forced the BBC to cancel core sports coverage.
