Although initial attempts to minimize the situation, the talk between the PM and Streeting apparently followed a different direction. Starmer apologised to Streeting, journalists have been advised. The exchange was concise, and they did not talk about the chief of staff, whom the PM is now under pressure to dismiss. Miliband's Reaction In his early morning media appearances, Miliband stressed the need for the Labour Party to direct attention on national matters rather than internal disputes. Look, I think the briefing has been unhelpful, certainly. But my call to the party now is quite simple, which is we need to concentrate on the country, not ourselves. We were given a historic mandate last July, a important chance to improve our country. And we have a major responsibility.
