Nick Clegg has admitted he “should have been more careful” about signing the pre-election pledge to oppose any increase in tuition fees.

He told ITV1’s Daybreak it was a policy he thought could put into practice.

The Lib Dem leader and deputy PM said compromises had had to be made as part of the coalition deal.

But he added the planned changes were “better than” the existing fees regime and would help generations of “poor bright kids” go to university.
