    Gordon Brown will cheer on England in World Cup

    As reported today, despite his demonstrable past hatred of the England footy team.

    I wonder why the complete change of heart?

    He's discovered they all have (newly taxable) offshore accounts?

      Are his trips a taxable benefit?

        It's obviously a cynical ploy to win hearts and minds as a positions himself in the final straight towards leadership. I'm no Blairite but when Blair came to power he managed to connect with the voter. Brown is a long way of that.

          Yes. This new, happy, "I love you all" Gordon is so transparent it is laughable.

            Not a big footie fan but I think GB is damned if he does/damned if he doesn't in this case. He can't say he wants England to fail for obvious reasons, but if he says he wants them to do well, he'll get reminded of whatever he said in the past.

            Don't want to feel TOO sorry for him, but he's in a no-win here.
