Senior Labour Party figure Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has urged the party to put aside party tensions after leader Sir Keir Starmer personally apologised to health minister Wes Streeting MP over damaging leaked comments linked to Downing Street.
The internal turmoil erupted after media stories emerged about hostile background comments from the Prime Minister's supporters targeting Streeting. Although initial efforts to dismiss the incident, the conversation between the PM and the health minister reportedly followed a different direction.
Starmer expressed regret to Wes Streeting, the media have been informed. The conversation was concise, and they did not talk about the chief of staff, whom the PM is now under growing pressure to remove.
In his early morning broadcast interviews, Ed Miliband stressed the need for the party to direct attention on national matters rather than internal conflicts.
Clearly, I think the briefing has been unhelpful, without doubt.
But my call to the Labour members now is quite simple, which is we need to focus on the nation, not our internal matters.
We were given a major mandate last July, a important chance to improve our nation. And we have a serious duty.
Separately, official statistics indicated the British economy expanded by just 0.1 percent in the July-September period, with the industrial sector especially affected by the recent Jaguar Land Rover cyber-attack.
