Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Rachel Reeves Says UK's Future Should Be Inside EU
Caption: Rachel Reeves Says UK's Future Should Be Inside EU. Former Chancellor Rachel Reeves has said she believes Britain's future lies inside the European Union, arguing that Brexit has made the country "poorer, weaker and less secure”. In her first major intervention since leaving the Treasury, Reeves welcomed growing debate about the UK's future relationship with Europe. Writing in the Sunday Times, she said her pro-European views had always been clear during her time as chancellor. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has also called for an "honest discussion" about Britain's relationship with the EU, although he has said any major changes would require a mandate at a general election. Labour’s 2024 manifesto ruled out rejoining the EU, the single market or customs union, as well as restoring freedom of movement. The Conservatives and Reform UK have opposed reopening the Brexit debate, with Reform leader Nigel Farage saying there is no mandate for closer EU ties.
