Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Reeves Argues For Deeper Trade Partnership With EU
Caption: Reeves Argues For Deeper Trade Partnership With EU. Rachel Reeves has called for a deeper trade relationship with the European Union, describing it as “the biggest prize” for the UK’s economic future. In a speech at the London School of Economics, Reeves argued that further integration with the EU would drive economic growth and improve security, while noting that the UK’s largest trading partner is central to its future. Her comments come as Keir Starmer’s government continues efforts to reset post-Brexit relations with Brussels. While Starmer has pledged not to rejoin the single market or customs union, Reeves emphasized the importance of aligning with EU regulations where in the UK’s national interest. Critics, including the Conservatives and Reform UK, accused Labour of betraying the Brexit result. Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats have called for the UK to rejoin the customs union. Reeves’ remarks highlight the significant role the EU plays in the UK’s trade, accounting for half of all UK trade, and underscore her belief that Britain’s future is closely tied to Europe’s. She also voiced opposition to protectionism, influenced by recent global economic volatility. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
