Starmer tells supporters he will fight any leadership contest

Sir Keir Starmer has told supporters he will stand in any Labour leadership contest. His position hardened after Andy Burnham said he would seek to enter. Starmer believes a contest could plunge the country into chaos, but he won a massive mandate two years ago. Pressure is mounting after poor election results, and Burnham must win the Makerfield by-election on 18 June to stand.
