Despite initial efforts to downplay the situation, the conversation between the PM and the health minister according to sources followed a different direction. Starmer said sorry to Streeting, the media have been informed. The discussion was short, and they did not talk about Morgan McSweeney, whom Starmer is now under pressure to dismiss.

Clearly, I think the backgrounding has been damaging, no question. But my advice to the Labour party now is straightforward, which is we need to prioritize the public, not each other. We were given a significant mandate last summer, a historic chance to change our country. And we have a major obligation.
