'Brexit was meant to give us a say on how we determine our own migration policy,' Braverman said. 'The unexamined drive towards multiculturalism as an end in itself, combined with the corrosive aspects of identity politics, has led us astray.'
Day three of the conference was marked by Tories attacking each other, confusion over tax and a dogged determination to avoid apologising after Kwasi Kwarteng's U-turn on his controversial mini-budget.
