Britain’s former prime minister Tony Blair on Sunday called for stricter controls on migration from within the European Union to avoid the country having to completely split from the economic bloc. London: Britain’s former prime minister Tony Blair on Sunday called for stricter controls on migration from within the European Union to avoid the country having to completely split from the economic bloc. The former prime minister argues that by bringing in proper immigration controls it would be possible to take back control of Britain’s borders without leaving the EU. Blair warns the Labour party that it should back tougher measures to avoid being painted “as the open borders party” and says party leader Jeremy Corbyn should start “making the case against” Brexit.
