Video: Nick Clegg 'got it wrong' over Lord Rennard, says Harriet Harman The Labour deputy leader's comments came as Lord Rennard, the disgraced Liberal Democrat peer, was suspended from his party for failing to apologise to female activists who accused him of inappropriate behaviour. The peer will be unable to sit as a Lib Dem in the House of Lords and will also lose his seat on the body which will help write the party's manifesto for the 2015 election. Lord Rennard has been suspended pending the outcome of a new inquiry into whether his failure to apologise to the women has brought the party into disrepute.
