A LABOUR Party rift over immigration was exposed last night after leadership favourite David Miliband called for Britain’s open-door border policy to stay in place.
The former Foreign Secretary – the early front-runner in the race to succeed Gordon Brown – vowed to fight Tory plans for an annual limit on immigration and scrap the measure if he ever becomes Prime Minister.
And he was critical of former premier Mr Brown’s ill-fated “British jobs for British workers” slogan.
Mr Miliband’s remarks came at the first hustings in the leadership contest on Wednesday night.
