It is because of widely shared tweets like this that I have not deactivated my Twitter account. I want to see the same level of support for such messages on Mastodon. And we can only get that by patiently explaining to those still imprisoned in Elon Musk's hellhole that there's an alternative. Musk will have to kick me off rather than asking me to walk the plank. #IStandWithGaryLineker #SackTimDavie

Critics of the BBC's Tory bias have won a battle, but the war goes on. From #IStandWithGaryLineker we need to move to #SackTimDavie. We need that hashtag because he insists he did nothing wrong. He's a Tory. And a hypocrite. He can't defend political impartiality because of his Tory values. Non news freelancers can't be gagged on social media. And Bectu/NUJ won't tolerate this. Solidarity with BBC freelancers.

Those who have added the #IStandWithGaryLineker hashtag over the last few days should not demobilize. On the contrary, given Tim Davie's refusal to admit he's done what he's done because of his Tory values, he's got to go. He can't be trusted to appoint an 'independent' panel to review guidelines for non-news freelancers. #SackTimDavie

Tim Davie is disgusting. This failed Tory politician must be removed as director general of the BBC. #IStandWithGaryLineker

Tim Davie still insists he did the right thing in taking Gary Lineker off the air. So he's a hypocrite and pressure on him to resign must be stepped up, not down. #IStandWithGaryLineker

Breaking: The BBC announce new definitions for their guidelines
“Impartiality shall be defined as any member of staff criticising the policies of the Conservative and Unionist Party, members of this party or the party as a whole.” 😉
