The £100million hypocrite: Nick Clegg was Britain’s smuggest politician, before he sold his soul to Facebook – now he’s set to trouser ANOTHER £30million as his wife launches a new political party in Spain

Nick Clegg, the former Liberal Democrat leader and deputy prime minister, is expected to make up to £30 million from the planned flotation of AI firm Nscale, after joining its board seven months ago. The article contrasts this potential windfall with his fall from popularity after the Liberal Democrats reversed their opposition to tuition fees in the coalition government, and his later move into senior roles at Meta.

It estimates Clegg made about £100 million during his time at Meta, where he served as president of global affairs until last year and faced criticism for acting as a political shield for the company. His wife, Miriam González Durántez, launched a new political party in Spain at an event in Madrid attended by Clegg; the article presents her move alongside his business fortunes.
