People are bringing views to UK that aren't welcome - Badenoch
Pressed on migration, Badenoch says it is "clear" there are many people who have recently come to this country who have brought views that "have no place here".
She says this is not just about conflicts in Middle East - citing her time as equalities minister when she says she saw people bringing cultural disputes from India "to the streets of Leicester".
She says we need to ensure that migrants to the UK leave their "previous differences" behind.
'We are not a dormitory'
The questioning on immigration continues.
Badenoch says the UK needs to "uphold our values in this country" and ensure that it doesn't turn into a place that "millions of people are running from".
"I don't think that people who bring foreign conflicts here should be welcome," she says - people who come to the UK should want to be part of it and integrate.
"We are not a dormitory, this is our home, having people from all around the world just living in their little bubbles and little groups is a recipe for disaster."

Lying Tories insulting voter’s intelligence by saying what they want hear. And even if they were sincere, the 1922 Committee and the Tory establishment wouldn’t let them. They would sabotage their agenda like they did with Liz Truss and Kwazi Kwartang.

Jenrick says that top of his list of things to fix is immigration - but there were other problems in the previous government’s record, he says, including the economy and the NHS.
He says he’s spent the last few months “thinking very deeply” about “serious answers” to the challenges that the party faces - and has come up with a “clear plan” on how to take the party and country forwards.
He says the ongoing leadership contest should settle that debate.
