Nick Clegg 'united' with Tories in condemning mass strike

DEPUTY Prime Minister Nick Clegg said yesterday that he stands “united” with Tories condemning more than a million workers preparing to take strike action over poverty wages. 

The Liberal Democrat leader refused to differentiate his party’s position on tomorrow’s action from that of Tory frontbench colleagues who have called for a ban on strikes. 

Mr Clegg revealed his disdain for low-paid workers under scrutiny from Labour MPs at Deputy Prime Minister’s Questions.
