Mother in radio row with Clegg

Nick Clegg has come under fire from a mother-of-two who accused him of singling out "stay-at-home mums" with the UK Government's new childcare scheme.

Laura, from London, told the Deputy PM the Coalition was "discriminating" against traditional families. "You probably think what I do is a worthless job," the caller, who did not give her surname, told Mr Clegg on his phone-in show on London's LBC.
