Ukip spokesman brands Gary Lineker a 'sanctimonious little twerp' after the football presenter suggested the party swiped their logo from the Premier League

Gary Lineker was today branded a 'sanctimonious little twerp' by a Ukip spokesman after he suggested the party swiped their new lion logo design from the Premier League.

The party has been accused of 'ripping off' the football division's iconic purple lion for its new logo which it unveiled at their conference today.

The Premier League are consulting their lawyers amid speculation Ukip's new logo could infringe copyright laws.

The Match of the Day presenter mocked the party online by posting a link to the two logos side by side and sarcastically adding 'the Premier League will be happy' with an eyes rolling emoji.
