If there is such a thing as a perfect lack of timing, there must be a competition in that sphere in the United Kingdom between two of its most prominent ladies: Prime Minister Liz Truss (who holds the office as this is written but may not hang in there by the time of publication if critics are to be believed), and Home Secretary Suella Braverman (whose love of Britain seems far in excess of King Charles III, to paraphrase the old English saying about one being more loyal than the regent).&nbsp;

This is not an algebra column, but you need to solve the simultaneous equations of these two political variables to get a hang of the country whose economy is in shambles.&nbsp;

Puns and punchlines abound in the quest for an accurate description of the situation.&nbsp;

The venerable Economist magazine has spoken of "Truss deficit' as markets pounded the pound and the IMF grumbled about the large-scale tax cuts her weeks-old government delivered before reversing about half of it with the sacking of short-lived finance minister Kwasi Kwarteng. The chancellor's arrival was as much steeped in cluelessness as his departure.&nbsp;

I, for one, describe the Indian-origin Suella as a brave woman for declaiming that Indians tend to overstay their visas even as a free trade agreement (FTA) was being worked out between the former colony and its erstwhile coloniser. This could well be a self-goal because India can be a veritable asset for the post-Brexit UK trying to reinvent its economy from the mess created by London's exit from the European Union -- among other things.&nbsp;

Foolhardiness is another way to describe foot-in-the-mouth courage in angels-fear-to-tread situations. This brave woman called Ms Braverman is a sideshow in a larger Truss circus. It may be time to speak of clowns in the British jewel&nbsp;instead of Indian jewels in the British Crown.&nbsp;

I am no big expert on the details of Britain's complicated economy, but I do know that Brexit was caused by an existential crisis in a country whose elites&nbsp;are/were steeped in ideological confusion. What the&nbsp;follow-up required was a fine balancing act. What Ms Truss delivered was a bookish off-with-the-tax eagerness that reminded one of the infamous queen in Alice's Wonderland. Balancing act, balancing budgets: same thing.&nbsp;

Rishi Sunak, playing a good cop in Conservative Party, must be sitting in a corner trying to suppress a giggle because he is having an I-told-you-so-moment with respect to the woman who defeated him in party polls to become the PM. He has to first look serious and committed to Britain and its greatness to retain his chance of getting the chair he missed sitting on. But his supporters are making all the required noises on his behalf.&nbsp;

Without us stepping into the details, we can say Brexit was a lot about UK feeling uncomfortable with competition from immigrant citizens from the European Union that caused a close-call verdict. Only 51.8% of Britons in the 2016 referendum favoured the exit. Any sensible country would have had second thoughts because only 72% of eligible British citizens took part in that vote. But in the UK, promises are to be delivered in letter, not spirit. That has resulted in a procession of Brexiteer PMs that does not seem to end: Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss may be next? Truss had to deliver on the Tories'&nbsp;tax-cut promises, which turned out to be a case of cutting one's own nose to spite the face.&nbsp;

Xenophobia, a smug dislike of competition at the workplace, colonial-era hubris and plain mood swings seem to have enabled votes in favour of Brexit. But what stares us in the face is the fall in investment and productivity in the UK economy that is at the heart of the crisis.&nbsp;

Market fetishists believe in low fiscal deficits as a puller of foreign investment -- and the Truss tax cuts upset the fiscal balance for that. This is because right-wing orthodoxy believes that lower taxes lead to higher efficiency, less bureaucracy and the creation of wealth and capital that fuel more jobs. Things are not so simple. And even if true, that happens in the long run. A more pragmatic Tory like Sunak likes to have safety nets to protect the poorer sections (a completely relative term in Toryspeak).

That brings us to Ms Braverman. In order to boost productivity, Britain needs skilled workers who actually look forward to work, and India with its growing talent pool, is a good hunting ground for that. You know the basics: Indians are not usually tainted by tags of Islamic extremism (hence safe), they have the colonial-era English language comfort, and last but not least, UK universities routinely make Indian students employment-ready for Britain. In such a context, Ms Braverman saying what she said was ill-timed, ill-conceived, and yet factually accurate.

This then is the horrible truth of Britain's crisis. Two women did the correct thing that was simply not appropriate for the moment. Ms Truss went for tax cuts instead of a toil-and-tears speech and Ms Braverman seems to have confused the ubiquitous tourist or family visa seeker with the much-wooed Indian engineer or technologist -- with no clarification on the apparent stereotyping. Indian techies can boost British productivity at optimal costs while foreign investors appreciate red carpets that carry no banana peels -- which is what Trussonomics seems to have laid on UK's intended road to an economic rebound.&nbsp;

At the core of Tory economics is the need for market and social stability that Truss has lost sight of. At the core of ongoing FTA negotiations is the need to distinguish between productive business and unwanted immigration that Ms Braverman does not seem to be conscious of.&nbsp;

As wounds are licked and blames are apportioned in Britain's cantankerous democratic discourse, the simultaneous equations of the two ladies in question need to be solved by keeping in mind a simple rule of the game called democracy. You can't keep voters, financiers, nationalists and foreign investors all happy at the same time. This means taking one run at a time instead of trying to hit the ball out of the park. The latter would be risky baseball fit for America's vast fields, not a cold, beleaguered island. What Ms Truss and Ms Braverman have done, oh, well, is simply not cricket.&nbsp;

Cricket lessons from Truss mess in UK: Mistimed strokes lead to catches, losing matches

Britain’s Indian-origin Home Secretary&nbsp;Suella Braverman&nbsp;has blamed the recent “riots” in Leicester on uncontrolled migration into the UK and the failure of newcomers to integrate. The riots broke out following an India-Pakistan cricket match. Braverman was speaking during her first speech since being appointed home secretary. She was referencing her visit to the eastern England city after clashes involving many Hindu and Muslim groups last month.

“The unexamined drive towards multiculturalism as an end in itself combined with the corrosive aspects of identity politics has led us astray,” Braverman told the audience.

“I saw this when I went to Leicester recently. A melting pot of cultures and a beacon of religious harmony. But even there, riots and civil disorder have taken place because of failures to integrate large numbers of newcomers. Such conflict has no place in the UK,” she said.

Braverman insisted it was not “racist” to want to control the UK’s borders. The former Attorney General in the UK&nbsp;Cabinet used her family heritage as a reference point to back up her plans to control migration.

“This isn’t just about policy or economics for me. It’s intensely personal. My parents came here in the 1960s from Kenya and Mauritius. They loved Britain from afar, as children of the Commonwealth. It was Britain that offered them security and opportunity as young adults,” she said.

“It’s not racist for anyone, ethnic minority or otherwise, to want to control our borders. It’s not bigoted to say that we have too many asylum seekers who are abusing the system. It’s not xenophobic to say that mass and rapid migration places pressure on housing, public services and community relations,” she said.

“My parents came here through legal and controlled migration. They spoke the language, threw themselves into the community, they embraced British values. When they arrived, they signed up to be part of our shared project because the United Kingdom meant something distinct. Integration was part of the quid pro quo,” she added.

The minister reiterated that integration did not mean abandoning their Indian heritage but meant adopting British identity.

“This is the best place on earth to come and live in, but I fear that we are losing sight of the core values and the culture that made it so,” she warned.

Suella Braverman blames 'uncontrolled migration' and 'failure to integrate' for Leicester violence

UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman has said she has reservations about the UK's trade deal with India believing bolstering trade ties could lead to an increase in immigration to the UK which goes against the goals of Brexit.

UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman objects to increasing visas for Indians

Newly appointed Home Secretary Suella Braverman is expected to use the upcoming Conservative Party annual conference to bring in a legislation to ban the migrants crossing the English Channel from seeking asylum.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Reportedly, the new legislation is designed to create a blanket ban on anyone entering the UK illegally through boats across the channel.&nbsp;

"It’s right that we extend the hand of friendship to those in genuine need," said Braverman.&nbsp;

"Parts of the system aren't delivering. We need to end abuse of the rules and cut down on those numbers that aren’t meeting the needs of our economy," she added.&nbsp;

According to experts, Braverman's proposal is touch different from her predecessor Priti Patel's plan as the former is looking to impose a complete blanket ban on the migrants.&nbsp;

As reported by WION, the former interior minister in April this year had brought the 'Rwanda Asylum Policy' under which aliens arriving in the UK through 'illegal' means would be sent to the African country of Rwanda to seek asylum.

However, before Patel &amp; co. could send the first deportation flight, it was grounded due to legal challenges. The incident happened in June and since then, not a single deportation has taken place&nbsp;as the case continues to linger in the UK courts.

The migrant crossover across the English Channel has been swelling up, breaking new records with alarming frequency.&nbsp;

Up until August over 22,557 migrants had crossed the channel. Comparatively, only 28,526 migrants crossed the Channel last year, while the number stood below 9,000 in 2020.&nbsp;

UK to ban migrants crossing the English Channel from seeking asylum

According to the British media, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is on course to beat Rishi Sunak to be elected Conservative Party leader and British Prime minister on Monday.

Not only this, the United Kingdom's local media has reported that Suella Braverman is likely to be the only British politician of Indian heritage in the new cabinet.

The report claims that Truss is looking to replace Priti Patel as Home Secretary and believes that Braverman is a suitable candidate for the position.

Braverman, who is currently the Attorney General for England and Wales, was born in the Indian state of Goa.

After being knocked out in the second round of ballots of fellow Tory MPs in mid-July, Braverman had thrown her weight behind Truss.
