Despite initial efforts to dismiss the matter, the talk between the PM and Streeting apparently followed a different turn. The Prime Minister apologised to Wes Streeting, reporters have been informed. The exchange was brief, and they did not address the chief of staff, whom Starmer is now under increasing scrutiny to dismiss. Miliband's Statement In his morning broadcast interviews, Miliband highlighted the need for the party to direct attention on national priorities rather than internal disputes. Look, I think the media briefing has been unhelpful, without doubt. But my call to the party today is straightforward, which is we need to focus on the country, not our internal matters. We were given a major mandate last July, a historic opportunity to improve our nation. And we have a historic duty. Economic Update Separately, official statistics indicated the British economic performance grew by just 0.1 percent in the July-September period, with the industrial sector particularly impacted by the recently reported JLR cyber-attack.
