BADENOCH FANS IN RACIST CHATS

KEMI Badenoch's supporters have been exchanging racist messages in a campaign WhatsApp group.

Ex-Tory MP Rachel Maclean is part of the chat and in one message assured members the Tory leadership hopeful, who is down to the final three candidates, "reads everything, including this".
