Ed Miliband Urges Labour to Look Ahead After Starmer Offers Apology to Wes Streeting for Aggressive Backgrounding
High-ranking Labour Party official Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has urged the party to move beyond internal disputes after Prime Minister Keir Starmer directly apologised to health minister Wes Streeting MP over damaging media stories linked to Number 10.
Important Developments
- Miliband states the Prime Minister will dismiss the No 10 staffer behind for attacking Streeting if found
- Miliband dismisses any leadership ambitions, saying his past experience as leader was the "best vaccine" against seeking the role again
- British economic growth grew by just 0.1% in the July-September period, hit by the Jaguar Land Rover hack
Background
The political controversy erupted after media stories emerged about hostile background comments from the Prime Minister's allies targeting the Health Secretary. Despite initial attempts to dismiss the situation, the discussion between Starmer and Streeting apparently took a more serious turn.
Starmer said sorry to Streeting, the media have been informed. The exchange was brief, and they did not address the chief of staff, whom the PM is now under pressure to remove.
The Energy Secretary's Reaction
In his early morning media interviews, Miliband highlighted the need for the party to focus on country-wide matters rather than party conflicts.
Clearly, I think the backgrounding has been unhelpful, without doubt.
But my advice to the party now is quite simple, which is we need to focus on the country, not each other.
We were given a significant election win last July, a important opportunity to transform our nation. And we have a historic obligation.
Economic Update
Separately, government statistics indicated the British economy grew by just 0.1 percent in the July-September period, with the production industry especially affected by the recent Jaguar Land Rover cyber-attack.
Today's Agenda
- Morning: NHS England issues its latest performance figures
- Morning: The Health Secretary visits Liverpool
- Morning: The Chancellor speaks to the press
- 11.30am: Downing Street conducts its daily lobby briefing
- Today: Keir Starmer announces government plans for the Britain's first nuclear power plant at Wylfa on the island of Anglesey
