Clegg Defiant Following Election Disaster

 

Nick Clegg has said he is not going to quit despite the Liberal Democrats being all but wiped out in the European elections.

Pressure is growing on the leader after the party was left with just one of its 11 MEPs.
It came two days after damaging local elections which saw them lose 296 councillors.
Mr Clegg said: "The easiest thing in politics is, when the going gets tough, is to walk away, to wash your hands of it.
"But I'm not going to do that."
