The ex-equalities minister and Tory leadership hopeful Kemi Badenoch has claimed that she fought a battle with civil servants over the axed children’s gender clinic which has been accused of rushing vulnerable children into treatment.

Kemi Badenoch wrote an article in The Sunday Times of London that claimed that officials told her not to meet whistleblowers and child patients while undermining her enquiries with leaks.
