I figured this out this morning. I realised that when accelerating, I rest my heel on the floor and accelerate more progressively by keeping my heel on the floor and pressing the ball of my foot onto the pedal. I realised today that I do the same thing when braking with my right foot.
However when braking with my left foot, I put the ball of my foot straight onto the pedal, and therefor must give the pedal more force than if I rested part of my foot on the floor. I braked with my right foot this morning using the "ball of the foot only" method and I achieved the same higher level of force I got when braking with my left foot. I just need to practise that
Job done.

Why are you trying to brake with your left foot?

Better or harder? Not the same at all.

FFS, isn't it obvious?
Mostly agree . Have you ever owned a TVR? If so left leg muscles will be much more developed due to heavy clutch action. Hence you can apply more pressure when left foot braking.
