    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Prime Minister Rishi Sunak promised to toughen up migration rules under a Tory leadership contest deal with Suella Braverman, the former home secretary’s allies say.

    The claim of a deal came in Mrs Braverman’s scathing letter to Mr Sunak after the prime minister had sacked her as home secretary.

    In the letter, Mrs Braverman said she supported Mr Sunak’s Tory leadership bid last year because of “the firm assurances you gave me on key policy priorities”, which included reducing “overall legal migration”.

    The Telegraph reported that it had seen “a copy of the pact” over the weekend, days after official figures showed net migration into the UK reached a record 745,000 last year.

    Mr Sunak has faced pressure from his own MPs to bring down net migration, which is the difference between the number of people coming to live in the UK and those leaving.

    Mr Sunak’s allies also point out that while Mrs Braverman was home secretary, the government did cut the number of dependents some students were able to bring with them.
