RIGHT-wingers are celebrating a victory which puts minor, piffling general election losses in the shade by condemning Gary Lineker to a lucrative retirement.
The Match of the Day presenter is expected to leave the BBC earlier than expected after inadvertently sharing content with antisemitic imagery, meaning the next four years of Labour government simply do not matter.
A senior Conservative source said: “Leaving a year earlier than planned to run his podcast empire? We may have lost the battle, but we won the war.
“By unseating a man who talks largely about football but occasionally expresses his uncontroversial political views, we’ve basically toppled a despot. This is like the Berlin Wall coming down for us.”
Lineker said: “There aren’t many options when you get to my age. I might be forced to take that blank cheque from Amazon Prime.
“Yes, my heyday of sitting behind a desk and talking about football for a fortune is sadly over, apart from another 20 years of doing it for commercial broadcasters.
“God, I suppose I’ll be free to make brand deals and adverts again now. Those things are a piece of piss and pay shitloads. And they’ll give my politics far more prominence.”
The Conservative source added: “Yeah, cry more, you jug-eared prick.”
