Nick Clegg claimed there was "something very un-British taking root" in UK politics as he named Alex Salmond and Nigel Farage among those wanting "to pull us apart".

The deputy prime minister told delegates in Glasgow that someone had to stand up for the "liberal Britain in which we and millions of decent, reasonable people believe".
