Young people have spoken out after Nick Clegg unfollowed them on Twitter.

This is the second time certain youths have felt betrayed by the former Liberal Democrat leader, after the tuition fees U-turn.

Many of them compared the two events when recounting the moment Nick Clegg unfollowed them.

The phrase 'Nick Clegg unfollowed me' was popular on Twitter for a few hours as people realised he was doing a social media cull.

Bizarrely, he followed and un-followed people within a day in some cases.

This is a way people try to increase their follower count.

They follow people, hoping they'll follow back, and then quietly un-follow them, so they have an extra follower.

It is not clear whether Nick Clegg is doing this, or whether he is flexing his social media muscles in his time out of the limelight.

We have contacted Nick Clegg's office for comment.

This news comes after it was revealed Nick Clegg has the worst voting record in Parliament.

This is according to new parliamentary analysis looking at MP turnout since the general election.

The former deputy prime minister has failed to cast a vote in almost 90 per cent of all divisions called in the Commons since May 7.

Ministers sent abroad on official trips, MPs kept away from Parliament due to illness and politicians with constituencies more than 700 miles away are among those who have voted more often.

The record was branded unacceptable by one Tory MP who said Mr Clegg had “no excuse” for failing to cast more votes.
