CLEGGY CAN’T ACCEPT DEFEAT

‘I have a small insight into the anguish of political defeat,’ he writes in the New Statesman. ‘Crashing out of office after five years as Deputy Prime Minister was still an abrupt collision with electoral reality . . . but, in the end, all you can do is stare defeat in the face, accept it, and move on.’

So why is Cleggy trying to overturn the Brexit result of 16 months ago?
