Senior Labour figure Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has urged the party to leave behind internal disputes after PM Keir Starmer personally apologised to Health Secretary Wes Streeting MP over damaging media stories coming from Downing Street.
The internal unrest erupted after reports surfaced about hostile briefings from the Prime Minister's team targeting the Health Secretary. Despite early attempts to downplay the matter, the conversation between Starmer and Streeting apparently took a more serious turn.
The Prime Minister said sorry to Streeting, journalists have been informed. The exchange was brief, and they did not address the chief of staff, whom the PM is now under pressure to dismiss.
In his morning media appearances, Miliband stressed the need for the Labour Party to direct attention on national issues rather than internal conflicts.
Clearly, I think the briefing has been unhelpful, no question.
But my advice to the Labour party today is quite simple, which is we need to prioritize the public, not ourselves.
We were given a historic victory last summer, a major chance to improve our country. And we have a major responsibility.
