Reeves says the UK's future should be inside the EU

Former Chancellor Rachel Reeves says the UK's future lies in the European Union and that Brexit has made the country “poorer, weaker and less secure.” In a Sunday Times article, she urged supporters of rejoining to set out tangible benefits and get the next steps right. Reeves hopes the upcoming UK-EU summit will confirm a youth mobility scheme and make progress towards UK participation in the EU's SAFE defence programme. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said any changes to the relationship with the EU would need a mandate at a general election.
