I noticed this in the article:

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said Lineker is "very welcome to pay more tax he can write a cheque to the Treasury, no one is stopping him."

But I guess Lineker might argue that he's saying all wealthy people should shoulder the burden of taxes, rather than just him individually

I guess it's not surprising that the Tories will think of any creative excuse possible to protect their wealthy backers from having to pay even a single penny more in tax

Can't get kickbacks from billionaires whose interest you represent, if you don't represent those interests and billionaires cease to exist 🤷‍♂️
