Hello and welcome to Coffee House Shops, The Spectators Daily Politics Podcast.

I'm Isabel Hardman, and this is the Sunday roundup.

At the Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham this morning,

the Tory leadership candidates outlined their visions of the party.

Speaking to Laura Koonsburg about immigration,

Kimmy Badnock, claimed some cultures are less valid than others.

Now you've written this morning about immigration and you're right that we cannot

assume that all cultures are equally valid. So which cultures in your view are less valid than others?

Oh, lots., cultures that believe in child marriage, for instance, or that women don't have equal rights.

I actually think it's extraordinary that people think that's an unusual or controversial thing to say.

Of course not all cultures are equally valid.

I don't believe in cultural relativism.

I believe in Western valleys, the principles which have made this country great,

and I think that we need to make sure

that we continue to abide by those principles to keep the society that we have now.

So which particular cultures then would you say are less valid?

Because as you've said, you're aware it's not

mine some people think that that is a controversial thing to say so which

cultures would you specifically say are less valid than others so it's not

about labeling cultures culture includes a lot of things. I'm not talking about

cuisine, I'm talking about customs. And I think that cultures where women are told that they should not work.

I would knock on doors.
