🔗 Share this article Energy Secretary Ed Miliband Calls on Labour to Move On After Keir Starmer Offers Apology to Wes Streeting for Negative Media Leaks Senior Labour figure Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has urged the party to put aside party conflicts after leader Keir Starmer personally apologised to health minister Wes Streeting over hostile media stories linked to the Prime Minister's office. Important Developments Ed Miliband declares Starmer will dismiss the No 10 source behind for briefing against Wes Streeting if found The Energy Secretary dismisses future leadership aspirations, declaring his past experience as leader was the "strongest protection" against wanting the position again British economic growth increased by just 0.1% in the July-September period, hit by the Jaguar Land Rover cyber-attack Background The political unrest began after media stories circulated about negative briefings from Starmer's supporters targeting the Health Secretary. Although initial attempts to minimize the matter, the discussion between the PM and Streeting apparently followed a different turn. The Prime Minister apologised to Streeting, reporters have been advised. The exchange was short, and they did not talk about Morgan McSweeney, whom Starmer is now under growing pressure to dismiss. The Energy Secretary's Reaction In his morning broadcast interviews, Ed Miliband stressed the need for the Labour Party to concentrate on country-wide priorities rather than internal disputes. Clearly, I think the backgrounding has been unhelpful, no question. But my call to the party now is clear, which is we need to prioritize the nation, not our internal matters. We were given a historic election win last summer, a important chance to transform our nation. And we have a serious responsibility.
