JEREMY Corbyn’s man in Brussels has declared he will be cheering on BELGIUM in tonight’s World Cup showdown against England.

Hardcore remainer and Labour’s leader in the European Parliament Richard Corbett described the contest as a “vulgar tournament to prove our superiority” adding “come on Belgium!”

Mr Corbett is a vocal Brexit critic and even claimed that the Labour Party were ready to “reconsider” leaving the EU.

The po-faced MEP wants a second referendum and freedom of movement to continue and EU boats allowed to fish British waters forever.

Writing on his blog he said: “I’m old enough to remember watching (as a very young boy) England’s victory in the 1966 World Cup final.

“At the time, I thought it was in the natural order of things that England should be world champions. I was fully expecting us to continue to dominate world football.”

He added: “By 2014, I was finally resigned to English failure. And now? Come on Belgium!”
