Important Events Ed Miliband states the Prime Minister will sack the No 10 official behind for targeting Streeting if found Miliband dismisses future party leader aspirations, saying his previous time as Labour leader was the "strongest protection" against wanting the role again UK economic growth expanded by just 0.1% in the July-September period, impacted by the Jaguar Land Rover cyber-attack Background The internal unrest began after reports circulated about negative briefings from the Prime Minister's team targeting the Health Secretary. Despite initial efforts to dismiss the incident, the conversation between Starmer and Streeting according to sources took a more serious direction. The Prime Minister expressed regret to Wes Streeting, journalists have been advised. The conversation was short, and they did not discuss Morgan McSweeney, whom Starmer is now under growing pressure to sack. The Energy Secretary's Reaction In his early morning broadcast interviews, Miliband stressed the need for the party to direct attention on country-wide matters rather than party conflicts. Clearly, I think the backgrounding has been damaging, without doubt. But my call to the party now is clear, which is we need to focus on the public, not each other. We were given a historic victory last July, a major chance to transform our nation. And we have a historic obligation. Growth News Separately, official statistics showed the UK economy grew by just 0.1% in the July-September period, with the manufacturing industry especially affected by the recently reported JLR cyber-attack.
