"After a day of turmoil where the Scottish Labour leader, Anas Sarwar, called for Starmer to resign, Labour MPs rallied around the prime minister after a speech in parliament. Miliband described Starmer as liberated, 24 hours after the departure of his chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney. He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that he hoped that the truest version of Starmer would now show itself to the country."
"This has got to be a moment of change for the government, a moment of change where we show much greater clarity of purpose, consistency of purpose, Miliband told Sky News. And my experience in politics is what gets you through very difficult days is mission and values. Miliband hinted that Starmer and the government had to show more that they were behind ordinary working people suffering from the high cost of living."
