🔗 Share this article Ed Miliband Calls on Labour to Look Ahead After Starmer Offers Apology to Streeting for Hostile Backgrounding High-ranking Labour Party figure Ed Miliband has called for the party to leave behind party conflicts after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer directly said sorry to health minister Wes Streeting MP over negative media stories coming from the Prime Minister's office. Key Events Ed Miliband states the Prime Minister will sack the No 10 official responsible for briefing against Wes Streeting if discovered Miliband rejects any party leader aspirations, stating his previous experience as leader was the "strongest vaccine" against desiring the position again UK economy expanded by just 0.1% in the third quarter, affected by the JLR hack Background The internal unrest erupted after allegations surfaced about negative background comments from the Prime Minister's team targeting the Health Secretary. Despite initial efforts to dismiss the matter, the talk between Starmer and Streeting apparently took a more serious turn. Starmer expressed regret to Wes Streeting, journalists have been informed. The exchange was short, and they did not address Morgan McSweeney, whom the PM is now under pressure to remove. The Energy Secretary's Response In his early morning broadcast interviews, Miliband stressed the need for the Labour Party to focus on national issues rather than internal conflicts. Look, I think the backgrounding has been damaging, certainly. But my advice to the Labour members now is straightforward, which is we need to prioritize the country, not our internal matters. We were given a major victory last summer, a important chance to change our country. And we have a historic obligation. Growth Update Meanwhile, official figures revealed the UK economy grew by just 0.1 percent in the July-September period, with the industrial sector particularly hit by the recent JLR security incident.
