Nick Clegg on the benefits of being in the EU, cheese, football and UKIP fruitcakery

FruitcakeNick Clegg did a further Twitter Town Hall session yesterday. I did a quick Storify thingy. The order is not quite right because of some technological gremlins I am not clever enough to sort, but I think all the questions are there. There’s also a beautifully illustrated piece in the Independent which you might like to have a look at.

There’s quite a good balance between banter and serious questions and he’s actually quite good with the quick fire summarising in 140 characters. It’s not easy to do, especially as he can be over-wordy at other times.
