Nick Clegg's nemesis?

Lord Rennard accused of sexual harassment; won't apologise. Libdem leader Nick Clegg caught between a rock and hard place; he knows there's something not right but LR holds the money. Power sex and money-----same old story.

She is about to be scrapped, the last one of the three. It coincides with end of Portsmouth as shipbuilding site for the Royal Navy.
