Kemi Badenoch says that migrants who refuse to embrace British culture should seek to live elsewhere.

The Tory leader’s firm position, which includes a vow to reduce immigration and restore voter trust, was outlined in her first major speech of the year.

“We simply cannot take all the millions of people who want to come here from elsewhere. Our country is our home, it is not a hotel. If people arriving don’t want to integrate into British culture, they shouldn’t be here,” she stated.

Ms. Badenoch added that the party would learn from past mistakes and adopt a more direct approach on issues such as Brexit, immigration, and net zero.

She also dismissed any speculation regarding a merger between the Conservative Party and Reform UK.

“Nigel Farage says he wants to destroy the Conservative Party. Why on earth would we merge with that?” she questioned.

However, Mr. Farage responded on X, stating that only 21 people were watching her speech on Facebook and that the YouTube stream had crashed.

“It’s a good job she understands the digital age,” he remarked.
