Rachel Reeves said the future of the United Kingdom should lie inside the European Union, BBC News reported. The broadcaster described the remarks as her first major intervention since leaving the Treasury.
According to BBC News, Reeves said Brexit has made the UK "poorer, weaker and less secure." The summary of the report provides that phrase as the only direct wording from her remarks.
The headline and summary do not say whether Reeves proposed any specific policy change or step toward that position. Neither describes the occasion on which she spoke or the audience she addressed, and neither mentions a reaction from other politicians or parties.
The summary does not show what arguments Reeves offered in support of her position on the EU, and it does not explain how she reached it.
The available record for the report does not name an author, so this story cannot attribute the reporting to an individual journalist.
The summary gives no time or place for the remarks beyond what the published report itself indicates, and the sources provided name no city for a dateline.
Readers seeking Reeves's full remarks and any response to them should consult the complete BBC News article, which this report has not reviewed in full.
