🔗 Share this article Ed Miliband Urges Labour to Look Ahead After Keir Starmer Apologises to Wes Streeting for Aggressive Briefings Senior Labour Party official Ed Miliband has called for the party to move beyond internal tensions after leader Sir Keir Starmer personally said sorry to health minister Wes Streeting MP over negative briefings linked to the Prime Minister's office. Major Developments Ed Miliband confirms the Prime Minister will fire the No 10 source responsible for attacking Streeting if identified Miliband dismisses future leadership plans, saying his previous experience as Labour leader was the "strongest protection" against wanting the position again British economic growth increased by just 0.1 percent in the third quarter, affected by the Jaguar Land Rover security breach Background The internal unrest began after media stories surfaced about critical briefings from the Prime Minister's supporters targeting the Health Secretary. Although early attempts to minimize the incident, the talk between the PM and Streeting reportedly took a more serious turn. Starmer expressed regret to Streeting, the media have been advised. The conversation was short, and they did not discuss the chief of staff, whom Starmer is now under increasing scrutiny to dismiss. Miliband's Response In his morning media interviews, Miliband stressed the need for the Labour Party to focus on national matters rather than party divisions. Look, I think the media briefing has been unhelpful, no question. But my advice to the Labour members now is quite simple, which is we need to concentrate on the country, not ourselves. We were given a significant mandate last summer, a major chance to transform our nation. And we have a historic responsibility. Economic Update Meanwhile, government data showed the British economic performance expanded by just 0.1% in the third quarter, with the production industry particularly affected by the recently reported JLR cyber-attack.
