5:13Now PlayingConservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has backed calls for bosses to be able to ban burqas in the workplace.
The Leader of Opposition said individual organisations should be able to dictate what their employees dress in, adding the workers should not be able to have any say in the matter.
“Organisations should be able to decide what their staff wear; it shouldn’t be something that people should be able to override,” she told The Telegraph.
She revealed how she holds “strong views about face coverings” and wants to prevent people from entering her constituency surgeries for wearing face veils.
The Tory leader said: “If you come into my constituency surgery, you have to remove your face covering, whether it’s a burqa or a balaclava."
This comes after Reform MP Sarah Pochin raised the matter in the House of Commons last week.
Nick Ferrari is joined by Ross Clark, writer and columnist at The Spectator, and Anila Baig , journalist and commentator.
