WATCH: Labour MP left red-faced after forgetting name of England football player
Watch the moment Labour MP Alex Ballinger is left red-faced after forgetting the name of one of England's football team players. Speaking in the House of Commons, Mr Ballinger heaped praise on the national team's success at the World Cup so far. He told MPs: "I'm delighted to say we had two fantastic black country lads, Jude Bellingham from Stourbridge and Morgan... Morgan... Morgan Rogers from Halesowen, who have both been doing us proud in the contested England No10 role against our DR Congo this evening. "So does the Prime Minister agree with me that we should congratulate England on their progress out of the group stage so far, and does he also agree with me that we need to do more to support the Prime Minister?"
