Brown, who is the favourite to replace TONY BLAIR as Prime Minister, admits his trip has brought him closer to the Irishman - and he'll do what he can to help his cause.

Brown says, "Bono inspires; he changes people's opinions about what's possible. I think he has had a huge impact on public opinion right across the world.

"He doesn't actually seek the glare the publicity for so much that he does.

"He'll spend hours talking to people all over the world but he wants to see everybody have the same chance that he's had."
