Fuming Kemi Badenoch says thousands of civil servants should be JAILED ‘as race to become next Tory leader tightens’ --[Reported by Umva mag]

KEMI Badenoch said thousands of civil servants should be jailed — as bookies claim the race to be Tory leader is tightening.

The firebrand let rip at Whitehall, telling a party conference fringe event: “There’s about five to ten per cent of them who are very, very bad — you know should be in prison bad, leaking official secrets, undermining ministers, agitating.”
