The language used in 1930s Germany included the othering of vulnerable groups, scapegoating those groups, talks of an invasion and other similar rhetoric. The rhetoric used by the government includes the othering of vulnerable groups, scapegoating those groups, and talks of an invasion.
Lineker isn't even the first person to call this out. A Holocaust survivor wrote to Braverman in January asking her to tone down the rhetoric which she refused to apologise for and said would continue.
Now personally, I think comparisons to 1970s Italy would be far more apt, but the comparison isn't wrong just not the best fit.
