Key Developments Miliband states the Prime Minister will fire the Downing Street source behind for attacking Wes Streeting if discovered The Energy Secretary rules out future leadership aspirations, stating his previous experience as leader was the "best protection" against seeking the position again British economy increased by just 0.1 percent in the July-September period, hit by the Jaguar Land Rover cyber-attack Background The internal unrest started after media stories circulated about negative background comments from the Prime Minister's team targeting Streeting. Despite early attempts to downplay the situation, the talk between Starmer and Streeting according to sources followed a more serious direction. Starmer said sorry to Wes Streeting, reporters have been advised. The conversation was concise, and they did not discuss the chief of staff, whom Starmer is now under growing pressure to dismiss. The Energy Secretary's Statement In his early morning broadcast appearances, Ed Miliband stressed the need for the party to focus on country-wide issues rather than party divisions. Look, I think the media briefing has been unhelpful, no question. But my message to the Labour party now is quite simple, which is we need to focus on the country, not our internal matters. We were given a major election win last July, a historic opportunity to change our nation. And we have a major responsibility. Growth Update Separately, government figures indicated the UK economy expanded by just 0.1 percent in the third quarter, with the industrial industry especially hit by the recent Jaguar Land Rover security incident.
