Conservative Leadership Race Intensifies on Immigration

The race to replace Rishi Sunak as Conservative Party leader has intensified, with immigration policies, particularly those affecting Indian visas, becoming a central issue. Leading candidates Robert Jenrick and Kemi Badenoch have both advocated for stricter immigration controls, with Jenrick emphasizing the need for India to take back its nationals living illegally in the UK. Badenoch has also criticized new migrants for bringing cultural disputes to the UK, referencing recent unrest in Leicester. Polls show a close contest between Jenrick and Badenoch, with both candidates gaining significant support. The leadership battle, highlighted by speeches and debates at the Conservative Party conference, will culminate in a final vote on November 2.
