Badenoch says Britain is 'not a dormitory'
Conservative leadership candidate Kemi Badenoch said people who want to move to the UK need to be "very committed", adding the country is "not a dormitory".
Asked how she would make culture part of an immigration strategy, the former business secretary told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It's all about doing everything in tandem. I said numbers matter, culture matters more but leadership is key and we need to think about all of it together.
"What we did previously was just leave the Home Office to look at people coming in and out, but we need to make sure that when people are coming to this country they are people who are coming to contribute and also who want the success of our country.
"Of course there will be others who are passing through, like student visas, for example, but if people want to stay here, we live in an age where you need to be very committed: we are not a dormitory, we're not a sponge.
"I'm somebody who came to this country at 16 and I did so wanting to be here, wanting to be from here, so culture matters."
Pressed on what her integration strategy would be, Ms Badenoch said: "It is about making sure that we keep our values... it's values like citizenship, being more than just having a passport, it's an expectation that you create for people, and government does need to talk about that."
Farage insists he will not do deal with Tories
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said the Conservative brand is "completely damaged" and he has no intention of doing a deal with the next Tory leader.
Speaking to ITV's Good Morning Britain, Mr Farage said of the four Conservative Party leadership candidates: "They all think with a new leader 'it'll all be fine, all the voters will come back to us', and what they don't understand is the Conservative brand is completely damaged, they have no chance of winning the next election."
He added: "There would be no deal with them, I wouldn't trust them anyway, they have a pattern of behaviour pretending to be one thing and then when they're in government being quite the opposite.
"And, frankly, what I'm trying to do with Reform is replace them."

Badenoch says some civil servants are so bad they should be in prison
Kemi Badenoch has said up to 10% of civil servants are so bad at their jobs they "should be in prison".
Undermining their ministers and leaking official secrets were among the accusations the shadow housing secretary levelled against civil servants
She told a fringe event at Tory conference yesterday evening: "I think that civil servants are like everybody else. They come in to do a job and I would say about 10% of them are absolutely magnificent.
"The trick to being a good minister is to find the good ones quickly, bring them close and try and get the bad ones out of your department as quickly as possible.
"There is about 5% to 10% of them who are very, very bad. You know, 'should be in prison' bad."
Row over Jenrick's special forces video
Tom Tugendhat said it is "upsetting" that Robert Jenrick used footage of a soldier he served with in Afghanistan who died shortly after the film was taken in a campaign video.
The ex-immigration minister has faced a backlash from his rivals for claiming that UK special forces were "killing rather than capturing" terrorists.
In an interview with BBC Newsnight, Mr Tugendhat said the statement made by Mr Jenrick “just isn’t true”.
He added: “What’s particularly upsetting is that video is using a piece of footage of some of the people I served with, one of whom there died shortly after that film was taken in an accident.
“And he’s not able to defend himself from the accusation that is being levelled against him. That’s footage of a soldier in northern Afghanistan in around 2002.
“I do not think we should be using footage of our special forces in operations… I would not put that video out. In fact I’d pull it down.”
