PRIME MINISTER David Cameron is to replace the Union Jack above 10 Downing Street with the flag of St George in support of England’s World Cup campaign.

Cameron allowed the flag to be changed in a bid to unite Britain, with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland failing to qualify for the tournament.

He said: “I’m sure that everyone in this house, no matter what part of the United Kingdom they come from, will be cheering ‘Come on England!’”
