FB hires Clegg as global affairs head

London, October 19 

British former deputy PM Nick Clegg, a leading anti-Brexit advocate, said on Friday he would be starting a job at Facebook, as the US giant faces up to regulatory pressures. “I am delighted to be joining Facebook. After almost 20 years in European and British politics, this is an exciting new adventure for me,” Clegg wrote on his Facebook page. The 51-year-old is also a former European Commission trade negotiator and member of the European Parliament. — PTI
