The controversy surrounding the BBC over the Gary Lineker impartiality row continues, as BBC chairman Richard Sharp is facing increasing calls to resign.
Meanwhile, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer stated that the recent row raised "important issues around the nature of the corporation and its independence.
" The dispute began after Lineker's tweets comparing the official language used in a new Government asylum policy with that used in 1930s Germany led to the presenter being taken off air.
However, after criticism from politicians and media figures, he was later reinstated.
The BBC's handling of the Gary Lineker row has caused a political storm, with criticism centred on its leadership and independence.
BBC chairman Richard Sharp is facing calls to resign after Keir Starmer said his position was "increasingly untenable".
However, the controversy was largely resolved after the Director-General Tim Davie apologised for the "grey areas" in its impartiality policy and a review was announced.
While some criticised the BBC for its "capitulation", Lineker expressed his "delight" at returning to the show and praised colleagues for their solidarity.
Nevertheless, politicians on both sides of the spectrum have used the controversy to discuss the nature of the corporation, with Starmer stating that it raises "important issues around the nature of the corporation and its independence".
The whole affair has brought fresh scrutiny to the corporation's future, as it marks its centenary amid funding and programming challenges, as well as competition from new media giants.
