Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch delivers a speech at Policy Exchange in Westminster, Londo (Image: PA)
Kemi Badenoch hit out at a European court for blocking Britain from controlling its borders.
The Tory leader warned rulings under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) have "morphed" in recent years and gave her strongest hint yet that she would pull Britain out.

"Without rules then things just don't work. But other countries are breaking the rules and we need to get serious about that and not pretend that those things aren't happening and that's really what I was us to focus on."
