Caption:

Tory leadership candidate Kemi Badenoch sparked controversy by suggesting that statutory maternity pay may have "gone too far" and that the government should interfere less in people's lives. In an interview with Times Radio, Badenoch described the 39-week maternity pay as a "function of tax" and labeled it "excessive".
