đŸ”— Share this article Ed Miliband Urges the Labour Party to Move On After Starmer Offers Apology to Wes Streeting for Negative Backgrounding High-ranking Labour figure Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has demanded the party to move beyond internal tensions after leader Keir Starmer directly said sorry to health minister Wes Streeting over negative briefings coming from the Prime Minister's office. Key Updates Ed Miliband declares the Prime Minister will dismiss the No 10 source behind for briefing against Streeting if discovered Miliband rejects future leadership plans, stating his past experience as leader was the "best protection" against wanting the role again British economic growth expanded by just 0.1 percent in the July-September period, hit by the JLR security breach Context The internal unrest started after reports circulated about negative briefings from the Prime Minister's allies targeting the Health Secretary. Although initial attempts to minimize the situation, the discussion between Starmer and Streeting apparently followed a different direction. The Prime Minister apologised to Streeting, the media have been advised. The discussion was brief, and they did not address Morgan McSweeney, whom the PM is now under pressure to sack. The Energy Secretary's Response In his early morning broadcast appearances, Miliband stressed the need for the Labour Party to concentrate on country-wide priorities rather than party divisions. Look, I think the backgrounding has been unhelpful, without doubt. But my advice to the Labour members now is straightforward, which is we need to concentrate on the nation, not each other. We were given a historic election win last July, a historic opportunity to transform our country. And we have a major duty. Economic News Meanwhile, government data showed the British economic performance expanded by just 0.1 percent in the July-September period, with the manufacturing industry especially affected by the recent JLR security incident.
