Thanks to Linda Jack for pointing me in the direction of Nick Clegg’s interview on the Westminster Hour on Sunday evening. In a fairly bad tempered interview given the easy ride that Caroline Quinn gives him (just imagine what a Paxo or Humphries would have made of this), he goes back to the formulation which most

Not only is their leader Nick Clegg proposing tax cuts for the lower paid - a policy which any politician of social conscience should recognise as morally and politically compelling - but he even suggested on the Today prog...
