đź”— Share this article Ed Miliband Encourages the Labour Party to Look Ahead After Keir Starmer Says Sorry to Wes Streeting for Hostile Media Leaks Senior Labour Party official Ed Miliband has demanded the party to put aside internal disputes after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer directly said sorry to health minister Wes Streeting over negative media stories coming from the Prime Minister's office. Important Updates Ed Miliband declares Starmer will dismiss the Downing Street staffer responsible for briefing against Streeting if identified The Energy Secretary dismisses future party leader ambitions, stating his past time as leader was the "best vaccine" against desiring the role again British economic growth grew by just 0.1 percent in the July-September period, hit by the JLR security breach Background The internal controversy began after allegations surfaced about hostile briefings from the Prime Minister's allies targeting Streeting. Although early efforts to minimize the incident, the talk between Starmer and Streeting according to sources took a more serious turn. The Prime Minister said sorry to Streeting, the media have been advised. The exchange was brief, and they did not discuss the chief of staff, whom the PM is now under growing pressure to sack. Miliband's Statement In his morning media interviews, Miliband stressed the need for the Labour Party to concentrate on national priorities rather than party conflicts. Clearly, I think the briefing has been unhelpful, without doubt. But my message to the Labour party today is quite simple, which is we need to prioritize the country, not our internal matters. We were given a historic mandate last July, a historic chance to improve our country. And we have a historic duty. Growth Update In other news, official figures indicated the UK economy increased by just 0.1 percent in the July-September period, with the industrial industry especially affected by the recent Jaguar Land Rover security incident.
