New Leader Clegg sets out agenda on social mobility
Extending social mobility through investment in education and tackling poverty will be at the heart of his agenda as Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg said today. On his first full day as party leader, Nick Clegg will start to deliver on the pledge made in his acceptance speech to reach out beyond Westminster by meeting sixth form pupils at a pioneering school in south-east London to learn about their aspirations and the challenges they face. Mr Clegg has announced the appointment of musician Brian Eno as his adviser with a brief to bring ideas from beyond Westminster on how to engage with and support people who are traditionally excluded from politics, particularly young people. Earlier today, Mr Clegg met the heads of 12 charities in the End Child Poverty coalition to discuss how to fulfil his commitment to end child poverty by 2020 and reverse Britain's appalling record on social mobility.
