This comes the BBC shortened the programme after a walkout by presenters and commentators following Gary Lineker's suspension
Blackpool South MP Scott Benton has been hit with backlash after claiming that the shortened version of Match of the Day was the 'best episode in years'.
But after the post, football fans and fellow politicians were quick to disagree with this statement, with many pointing out that the show always shows all the goals. Former Sky Sports presenter Simon Thomas posted: "What’s the betting that dear old Scott didn’t go to the pub but instead nipped out to get himself a Happy Meal to congratulate himself on his hilarious tweet."
Rishi Sunak has attempted to divert attention away from the government, issuing a statement last night saying it was a matter for the BBC, the Mirror reports.
