LONDON, June 19 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Friday he would stand in any leadership contest, after potential rival Andy Burnham won a vote for a parliamentary seat to return to Westminster, paving the way for a challenge.

Starmer told reporters that he did not think a leadership challenge would be good for the country but he added: “If there is a contest … then yes I will run, I will stand.”

“I’ve said repeatedly I’m not going to walk away from that.”
