🔗 Share this article Ed Miliband Calls on Labour to Look Ahead After Starmer Apologises to Streeting for Aggressive Briefings Senior Labour Party figure Ed Miliband has demanded the party to put aside internal conflicts after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer personally said sorry to health minister Wes Streeting MP over damaging briefings originating from the Prime Minister's office. Key Developments Miliband confirms Starmer will fire the No 10 official behind for targeting Wes Streeting if discovered The Energy Secretary rejects future party leader plans, declaring his past experience as leader was the "strongest inoculation" against desiring the role again British economy grew by just 0.1 percent in the third quarter, hit by the JLR cyber-attack Situation The political turmoil started after media stories emerged about critical background comments from the Prime Minister's allies targeting Streeting. Despite initial attempts to downplay the incident, the talk between Starmer and the health minister apparently took a different direction. The Prime Minister expressed regret to Wes Streeting, reporters have been told. The conversation was short, and they did not discuss the chief of staff, whom the PM is now under increasing scrutiny to dismiss. The Energy Secretary's Reaction In his morning broadcast appearances, Ed Miliband stressed the need for the Labour Party to direct attention on country-wide matters rather than internal disputes. Clearly, I think the backgrounding has been damaging, no question. But my advice to the Labour party now is straightforward, which is we need to prioritize the public, not ourselves. We were given a major election win last July, a important opportunity to transform our country. And we have a serious duty. Economic News Separately, government figures showed the UK economic performance grew by just 0.1% in the July-September period, with the industrial sector particularly impacted by the recently reported JLR security incident.
