High-ranking Labour official Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has demanded the party to move beyond party conflicts after PM Sir Keir Starmer directly apologised to health minister Wes Streeting over negative leaked comments linked to the Prime Minister's office.
The internal controversy started after reports surfaced about negative background comments from Starmer's team targeting the Health Secretary. Although initial efforts to minimize the situation, the discussion between Starmer and Streeting apparently took a more serious turn.
Starmer expressed regret to Wes 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.
In his early morning media appearances, Miliband highlighted the need for the party to concentrate on national matters rather than party disputes.
Clearly, I think the media briefing has been bad, no question.
But my message to the Labour party today is quite simple, which is we need to focus on the nation, not our internal matters.
We were given a significant election win last summer, a historic chance to transform our nation. And we have a historic responsibility.
