Ed Miliband Encourages the Labour Party to Focus Forward Following Keir Starmer Apologises to Streeting for Negative Media Leaks
Senior Labour figure Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has urged the party to leave behind party conflicts after PM Sir Keir Starmer directly expressed regret to Health Secretary Wes Streeting MP over negative briefings originating from Number 10.
Important Events
- Ed Miliband confirms the Prime Minister will sack the Downing Street staffer behind for targeting Wes Streeting if found
- Miliband rules out future leadership ambitions, saying his previous time as Labour leader was the "strongest vaccine" against wanting the position again
- British economy grew by just 0.1% in the July-September period, affected by the Jaguar Land Rover cyber-attack
Context
The political controversy began after media stories surfaced about critical briefings from the Prime Minister's team targeting the Health Secretary. Although initial efforts to minimize the situation, the discussion between Starmer and Streeting according to sources followed a more serious turn.
The Prime Minister said sorry to Wes Streeting, reporters have been told. The discussion was short, and they did not discuss Morgan McSweeney, whom the PM is now under growing pressure to dismiss.
The Energy Secretary's Reaction
In his morning broadcast interviews, Ed Miliband emphasized the need for the Labour Party to focus on country-wide matters rather than internal disputes.
Clearly, I think the backgrounding has been unhelpful, no question.
But my call to the Labour members today is straightforward, which is we need to focus on the country, not ourselves.
We were given a historic victory last July, a important chance to transform our nation. And we have a historic obligation.
Growth Update
Separately, government statistics showed the British economic performance expanded by just 0.1% in the third quarter, with the manufacturing sector particularly impacted by the recently reported JLR hack.
Today's Agenda
- Morning: NHS England publishes its latest statistics
- Morning: The Health Secretary is visiting the Liverpool area
- Morning: The Chancellor speaks to the press
- Late morning: Number 10 holds its daily media briefing
- Today: The Prime Minister announces government plans for the UK's pioneering small modular reactor plant at Wylfa on the island of Anglesey
