By Monday afternoon, Mr Clegg's whereabouts were still unknown.</p> <p>A spokesman later told the BBC that the British regime was "now in its last throes" and that it had been dealt "a fatal blow" by Mr Clegg's defection.</p> <p>"This defection was not a matter of days or weeks, it was in the pipeline for two continuous months through a trusted cell close to the prime minister made up of rebels and aides," he said.</p> <p>He said Mr Clegg would work to "rebuild a Britain of the future, a Britain without Cameron". </p>
