Leeds West and Pudsey MP and Former Chancellor Rachel Reeves has called for Britain’s future to be back inside the European Union, claiming Brexit has left the UK poorer, weaker and less secure. While Labour previously ruled out rejoining, Prime Minister Andy Burnham says it’s time for an honest conversation about what comes next and Reeves has welcomed renewed debate about the UK’s relationship with Europe. How do you feel about the issue, over 10 years since the Brexit referendum?

00:00I think with Brexit, the percentage of leave and remain was very close anyway.
00:06So it's definitely something that I think we should be open to.
00:09I don't think it was a long process and I get that, but I do think maybe we should look
00:13at that.
00:15But maybe there are bigger problems in the UK right now, homelessness being one.
00:19I know Andy Burnham's very passionate about that.
00:21I think we should join the EU again. That's just me, though.
00:24I feel like politics in England, we very much like change.
00:29We more, we don't, a lot of people vote based on like, oh, these guys weren't very good.
00:35Let's just get the opposite and see if they see if they do any better.
00:38And I feel like we do that a lot. And I feel like that's similarly what happened with Brexit.
00:43You know, I was a lot younger back then, so, you know, I wasn't fully fledged on everything.
00:48But yeah, in my opinion, we should join the EU again.
00:51As long as the UK is running speedily, make sure everyone is cared for.
00:56I feel like it's a lot about, I don't know, I feel like just looking at it the wrong way.
01:01It's not about being in and out, it's just being about helping the country the best way we can.
01:05Us rejoining the EU, I think, will be a lot better for everybody.
01:08I feel like since we have left it, things in terms of like food, the cost of things going up
01:17and down,
01:17and obviously like relationships with other countries in Europe have like significantly like dropped as well.
01:22There's pros and cons for both sides.
01:24I'd definitely be up for a referendum, but maybe let's focus on the bigger issues that we face in the
01:29country today.
