Despite initial efforts to minimize the situation, the conversation between Starmer and Streeting according to sources followed a different turn. Starmer expressed regret to Streeting, the media have been told. The exchange was concise, and they did not talk about the chief of staff, whom the PM is now under pressure to sack. Miliband's Response In his early morning media appearances, Ed Miliband highlighted the need for the party to concentrate on national issues rather than party divisions. Look, I think the backgrounding has been unhelpful, certainly. But my message to the Labour party now is clear, which is we need to focus on the public, not our internal matters. We were given a historic victory last July, a important opportunity to improve our nation. And we have a major duty.
