Although initial efforts to minimize the situation, the discussion between Starmer and Streeting according to sources followed a more serious direction. Starmer said sorry to Wes Streeting, reporters have been told. The discussion was brief, and they did not discuss the chief of staff, whom the PM is now under pressure to remove. The Energy Secretary's Response In his early morning media appearances, Miliband highlighted the need for the party to direct attention on country-wide priorities rather than internal disputes. Look, I think the media briefing has been unhelpful, no question. But my advice to the Labour members now is straightforward, which is we need to concentrate on the nation, not our internal matters. We were given a major mandate last summer, a major opportunity to transform our country. And we have a serious responsibility. Growth Update Meanwhile, government figures showed the British economy expanded by just 0.1 percent in the July-September period, with the production sector particularly hit by the recent Jaguar Land Rover hack.
