Important Developments Miliband states Starmer will sack the Downing Street source behind for attacking Streeting if found The Energy Secretary rules out any party leader aspirations, saying his past experience as Labour leader was the "most effective vaccine" against desiring the role again UK economic growth grew by just 0.1% in the July-September period, affected by the JLR cyber-attack Background The internal turmoil started after allegations circulated about negative background comments from Starmer's supporters targeting the Health Secretary. Although initial attempts to dismiss the situation, the discussion between the PM and the health minister reportedly followed a more serious turn. The Prime Minister apologised to Wes Streeting, reporters have been informed. The conversation was brief, and they did not discuss Morgan McSweeney, whom Starmer is now under increasing scrutiny to remove. Miliband's Response In his morning broadcast interviews, Miliband emphasized the need for the party to focus on country-wide priorities rather than party divisions. 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 prioritize the country, not our internal matters. We were given a significant election win last July, a major chance to improve our nation. And we have a serious obligation.
