🔗 Share this article Ed Miliband Calls on the Labour Party to Move On After Starmer Offers Apology to Wes Streeting for Hostile Briefings High-ranking Labour official Ed Miliband has urged the party to put aside internal tensions after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer personally expressed regret to health minister Wes Streeting MP over damaging leaked comments originating from Downing Street. Major Events Miliband states Starmer will dismiss the Downing Street staffer responsible for attacking Wes Streeting if found The Energy Secretary rules out future party leader plans, stating his previous experience as Labour leader was the "most effective protection" against desiring the role again British economy increased by just 0.1% in the third quarter, affected by the JLR cyber-attack Background The internal turmoil began after reports surfaced about negative background comments from Starmer's team targeting Streeting. Although initial attempts to minimize the situation, the discussion between the PM and the health minister apparently took a different turn. The Prime Minister apologised to Wes Streeting, the media have been told. The discussion was brief, and they did not discuss Morgan McSweeney, whom the PM is now under increasing scrutiny to sack. The Energy Secretary's Response In his morning broadcast appearances, Miliband highlighted the need for the party to focus on country-wide priorities rather than internal disputes. Clearly, I think the backgrounding has been bad, without doubt. But my message to the Labour members today is straightforward, which is we need to concentrate on the country, not ourselves. We were given a significant mandate last summer, a historic chance to transform our country. And we have a historic responsibility. Economic Update In other news, official statistics indicated the British economy increased by just 0.1% in the July-September period, with the industrial sector especially hit by the recently reported Jaguar Land Rover cyber-attack.
