🔗 Share this article Energy Secretary Ed Miliband Encourages Labour to Look Ahead After Starmer Apologises to Streeting for Negative Briefings High-ranking Labour figure Ed Miliband has urged the party to move beyond internal conflicts after leader Sir Keir Starmer directly said sorry to health minister Wes Streeting MP over negative media stories originating from the Prime Minister's office. Important Developments Ed Miliband declares Starmer will fire the Downing Street source behind for targeting Streeting if found Miliband rules out future leadership ambitions, stating his previous experience as leader was the "best vaccine" against seeking the position again UK economic growth expanded by just 0.1 percent in the third quarter, impacted by the JLR security breach Background The internal turmoil began after media stories circulated about hostile background comments from Starmer's team targeting Streeting. Despite early efforts to dismiss the matter, the conversation between the PM and Streeting according to sources took a different turn. Starmer expressed regret to Streeting, reporters have been told. The exchange was brief, and they did not discuss Morgan McSweeney, whom Starmer is now under increasing scrutiny to remove. Miliband's Response In his morning broadcast interviews, Ed Miliband highlighted the need for the party to focus on national priorities rather than party divisions. Clearly, I think the media briefing has been damaging, without doubt. But my advice to the party today is quite simple, which is we need to prioritize the public, not our internal matters. We were given a historic victory last July, a historic chance to change our country. And we have a historic responsibility. Economic News In other news, government statistics revealed the British economy grew by just 0.1 percent in the third quarter, with the industrial sector especially affected by the recently reported JLR hack.
