Despite Clegg's attempts to spell out differences with Tories, his actions tell a very different story
19 December 2011
Harriet Harman MP, Labour's Deputy Leader, responding to Nick Clegg's comments about recognising marriage in the tax system, said:
"Despite Nick Clegg’s attempt to spell out differences with the Tories, his actions tell a very different story.
“He has made an active choice to prop up a Tory-led Government which is hitting families harder than the banks through cuts which go too far, too fast; which has cut support for working families; and which has increased VAT - costing a family with children £450 a year.
“Whether it is trebling tuition fees, taking a backseat in Europe or giving up on electoral reform, it is clear that the Lib Dems have sacrificed their liberal traditions."
