I'm inclined to agree - I struggle to see an agreement that satisfies both the BBC and Lineker. Is it all over?
Not as a wider issue about what people paid by the BBC have to be impartial or not.
Is he actually an employee of the BBC or technically a freelancer?

Lineker stepping back will only reiterate that the BBC is scared of the current government.

Perhaps lots of BBC presenters should take a stand and speak out. What are they going to do? Sack them all?

Just outrageous. I love the BBC, but I really can't defend this, especially with Richard Sharp not "stepping back" as chairman. The Attenborough news today doesn't help, either.
I wouldn't blame whoever steps in as presenter tomorrow, but I'd like to hope people might want to show some solidarity and not do it.

Where does this stop? Cancel Children in Need because it highlights the failings of Government to provide services that are being left to charities to pick up?
Yes exactly. If he were going on a tirade against a specific team or coach that would jeopardize his ability to host football-related shows, but given that he is not going to interview the Home Secretary anytime soon, his views on the asylum plans are irrelevant in my opinion.

Is the News team going to be allowed to factcheck this on air? I suppose not at this rate.
