Chancellor tells Guardian that UK will retain red lines such as no free movement but ‘there will be future areas where we can do more’

The UK-EU summit on Monday is a “step towards” a deeper and ongoing partnership with Europe, the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has said, saying any deal struck next week will not be a “one off.”

In an interview with the Guardian, Reeves suggested the government was looking for closer ties with Europe beyond what was on the table this coming Monday, adding: “There will be future areas in which we can do more.”
