The Prime Minister said sorry to Streeting, the media have been advised. The conversation was concise, and they did not address Morgan McSweeney, whom Starmer is now under growing pressure to remove. Miliband's Reaction In his morning broadcast interviews, Miliband emphasized the need for the Labour Party to concentrate on national matters rather than party disputes. Look, I think the briefing has been damaging, without doubt. But my advice to the party now is straightforward, which is we need to prioritize the country, not ourselves.
