#Villagate – the fall-out from David Cameron’s football gaffe

2:16 PM

Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls was among the Twitterers to respond to David Cameron’s gaffe this morning, when he forgot which football team he supported.

Hey David Cameron.. I'm off to see that football team I support this afternoon. Name escapes me.. they play in yellow… Watford?

Saturday and Match Of The Day. I'm so excited I can't remember which team I support!

Rumour going round @David_Cameron will be at Burnley today. He heard the Foxes were coming to Turf Moor and fancied a hunt #villagate
