Nick Clegg appeared on LBC this morning to take part in his first interview since his party’s defeat at the polls. With the host Nick Ferrari taking questions from listeners, Clegg was subjected to a mix of abuse and praise from Londoners.
However, there was one question in particular which struck a nerve with the former Liberal Democrat leader. A caller by the name of Liam asked Clegg if he had personally spoken to each Lib Dem MP who lost their seat in the election:
NC: After the election? Yes I spoke to them all, left messages with them. Liam can I ask why you’re so interested in that?
L: But is it okay to leave a message, or did you actually speak to them?
NC: Some of them I wasn’t able to speak to because they were on holiday, why Liam? Trying to work out why this is of such significance to you.
