RACHEL Reeves will today call for a “businesslike” reset with Europe as she seeks to rebuild post-Brexit ties with the bloc.

The Chancellor will slam the Tories’ “division and chaos” on Europe, vowing: “It will not define us.”

In the first visit by a UK Chancellor to EU finance ministers’ talks since Brexit, Ms Reeves will promise a new era of “trust, mutual respect, and pragmatism.”
