Kemi Badenoch to call for scrapping of legal equality duty

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch will call for scrapping the Public Sector Equality Duty, which requires public bodies to promote equality. She argues the duty promotes dangerous and divisive agendas and exposes public decisions to legal challenge. The Conservatives present this as a first step to 'restore common sense'. Labour, meanwhile, promises a new equality strategy focused on getting working class people into the civil service. Badenoch's speech follows the murder of Henry Nowak.
