Far-fetched claims

He and I were elected to the European Parliament on the same day in 1999. I left after five years. The UKIP leader is still there
Nick Clegg accuses Nigel Farage of being "a professional politician"
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, meanwhile, has accused Mr Farage of being the sort of professional politician he has himself criticised.
"Of all Nigel Farage's far-fetched claims - and there are many - the most outlandish is the idea that UKIP's call for an exit is the insurgents' battle cry," the Lib Dem leader wrote in the Guardian.
"European withdrawal is presented as a great revolutionary promise, held in stark contrast to the status quo upheld by a homogeneous political elite.
"What poppycock."
He said Mr Farage was "every bit the professional politician he enthusiastically reviles".
"He and I were elected to the European Parliament on the same day in 1999. I left after five years. The UKIP leader is still there."
And he criticised UKIP as "simply the fresh face of a long-standing Eurosceptic establishment, supported by many in the Tory party and significant parts of the press".
