Kemi Badenoch Criticizes Civil Servants at Tory Conference

Badenoch claims up to 10% of civil servants are obstructive and some should be in prison for leaking secrets.

Kemi Badenoch stated at a Conservative party conference that 5-10% of civil servants are 'very bad' and should be in prison.
She accused these civil servants of leaking official secrets and undermining ministers, often citing union-led agitation.
Badenoch emphasized that the majority of civil servants are dedicated and frustrated by the obstructive minority.
Her comments drew immediate backlash from union representatives, who demanded evidence or a retraction.
Badenoch, a Conservative leadership contender, has faced criticism for other remarks made during the conference, including on maternity pay.
