Looks like even other tories are bemused by braverman’s rhetoric, especially as she now seems keen to sabotage the U.K.-India trade deal.
“Braverman has already caused alarm in the government by saying on Tuesday she would aspire to cutting net migration to “tens of thousands” – a promise that previous Conservative governments have failed to keep.
One senior source said: “No one knows why she made those comments. That promise was used time and again to criticise Theresa May when she was home secretary.”

Hardly a new policy initiative.
This govt is falling apart already, braverman can propose policy all she wants but can’t distract or deflect from the inner turmoil of truss’ cabinet.

No surprises after her leadership campaign which was an exercise in ill conceived notions, u turns and blaming others for the failings of the govt she served in.
Quelle surprise…and more to come it seems.
“Paul Johnson, the director of the IFS, said there would still need to be a significant cut to spending in order to balance the books. “Unless he also U-turns on some of his other, much larger tax announcements, he will have no option but to consider cuts to public spending – to social security, investment projects, or public services,” Johnson said.”

And like everyone else, everywhere else, they probably did whatever they did before phones came about...talk, read, sleep, stare out the window, ignore all around them, play cards, etc...same as everyone else I'd imagine
You've got the reported facts in both links. You just wish to deny their veracity because you don't like them...no denials from 1922 committee on the Independent report, [which other news media reported on] and the tory misgivings on the disastrous mini budget have also been widely reported upon.
Tough to take, eh...
Ask and you shall receive...

Reported information.
At least one tory, as yet un-named, has allegedly sent a letter to the 1922 committee.
Others are openly calling for a repeal of aspects of the disastrous mini budget...
So it begins...again.
Uh oh…another cloud on the truss horizon emerging
