Nick Clegg: No other country has punched itself in the face like Britain

Brexit was a “self inflicted punch in the face” that has left Britain “poorer, weaker, less safe and less sovereign”. The “vast majority” of voters know it was a mistake – and Britain needs Europe more than ever because it can no longer rely on America to defend it. The claims are made by former deputy prime minister Sir Nick Clegg in an interview with The Independent as part of its Europe: The Way Back campaign to mark the tenth anniversary of the UK’s decision to leave the EU. #EuropeTheWayBack #NickCleggInterview Watch more on Independent TV: https://tinyurl.com/yc7ukx9n The Independent is the world’s most free-thinking newsbrand, providing global news, commentary and analysis for the independently-minded.
