Nick Clegg reveals even his own family didn’t vote for his Lib Dems with all his young relatives backing Jeremy Corbyn

NICK CLEGG's own nieces and nephews voted for Jeremy Corbyn in a swoop of support that saw him lose his own seat, he revealed last night.

The former Sheffield MP admitted that while even his own family have jumped on the Corbynista bandwagon, the Labour leader's surge in popularity won't last.

Mr Clegg, who was leader of the Liberal Democrats from 2007 until the disastrous 2015 election which saw his party lose all but eight seats, said that Labour had hoovered up a lot of university-educated, young voters in the recent snap vote.

He said: "It's on a completely false prospectus. But I had members of my own family, my nieces and nephews who stridently voted for Corbyn.

"When I pointed out to them he's a Eurosceptic, they said, 'oh, it'll be fine' and carried on waving their flags at Glastonbury."

But he speculated that the youth vote would not stick with Mr Corbyn because they were yet to discover his rampant Eurosceptisism, and that he would not save them from Brexit.

The former Lib Dem boss also admitted that he'd lost his seat because Tory voters who usually backed him had had enough of him, paving the way for Labour to swoop into power.

Another reason for his downfall was that "they obviously didn't like my views on Brexit."

The Liberal Democrats have passionately campaigned against and tried to block Brexit, despite the clear result last year which saw 52 per cent of the country opt to quit the block.

The politician said if there were another snap election in the near future he would be unlikely to run again, but didn't rule out a return to politics in the future.

The former deputy Prime Minister also told how David Cameron IGNORED his advice to make the EU referendum campaign more emotional - or he would lose it.

Mr Clegg said he'd had a feeling that the vote was going to be lost - and emailed Mr Cameron 10 days before the vote to beg him to change tack.
