Despite early efforts to dismiss the incident, the talk between the PM and Streeting reportedly took a more serious turn. The Prime Minister apologised to Streeting, journalists have been told. The exchange was brief, and they did not talk about Morgan McSweeney, whom the PM is now under increasing scrutiny to remove. The Energy Secretary's Response In his early morning media interviews, Ed Miliband stressed the need for the Labour Party to direct attention on country-wide issues rather than internal conflicts. Clearly, I think the media briefing has been bad, without doubt. But my advice to the party today is quite simple, which is we need to prioritize the country, not ourselves. We were given a historic mandate last July, a important chance to improve our country. And we have a historic obligation.
