Kemi Badenoch said …

“I have that citizenship by virtue of my parents, I can’t give it to my children because I’m a woman.

“Yet loads of Nigerians come to the UK and stay for a relatively free period of time, acquire British citizenship. We need to stop being naive.

“That is why under my leadership, we now have policies to make it harder to just get British citizenship. It has been too easy.”
