## Summary

Rachel Reeves has said she believes Britain’s future lies in the EU, adding her voice to Labour’s renewed debate over Brexit and possible re-entry. She argued Brexit had made the UK poorer, weaker and less secure, while saying supporters of rejoining must show practical benefits and agree the right next steps.

Reeves pointed to a youth mobility scheme, which ministers reportedly agreed would allow 80,000 young Europeans to work in the UK, and called for confirmation of the deal at an upcoming UK-EU summit. She also hopes for progress on joining the SAFE defence partnership. Andy Burnham is due to meet Ursula von der Leyen on 20 November, while Labour figures remain divided over rejoining and whether any change would require a referendum.
