Angela Rayner being sacked as party chair. Wow.

Source close to Rayner: "Keir takes full responsibility, that's what I saw on the news"

Many sources point out that the Labour left and soft left are now bound to rally around Angela Rayner in a way that definitely wasn't happening before

Khalid Mahmood, shadow minister in Labour's defence team, quits frontbench in a piece for right-wing think tank Policy Exchange... He says Labour has been captured by a "London-based bourgeoisie".

Khalid Mahmood used a Policy Exchange pamphlet last year to defend Trevor Phillips when he was suspended over Islamophobia allegations.

He also briefly sought to become Labour's deputy leader last year.

Keir Starmer emphasises at the campaign launch that the May elections "will be tough" for Labour, saying for example: "We’ve been constrained. I’ve yet to make a speech to a live audience."

Asked about Sarah Everard, Starmer says "the first thing we need to do is recognise the scale of violence against women and girls", need to "tackle it at root" and "it’s very important for men to speak out".

He also talks about the need for "more police officers on the beat" and "a criminal justice system that works well".

I'm told Labour Holyrood candidate Hollie Cameron, standing for Glasgow Kelvin, has been removed as a candidate following comments on indyref2. No confirmation from party so far.

Story from Sunday on Hollie Cameron's comments: thenational.scot/news/19141908.…

NEW: Understand that Hollie Cameron was not able to satisfy a Labour SEC interview panel that she would follow the Scottish Labour group whip if elected as an MSP.

Oldknow v Evans outcome: ex-staffer's bid to force Labour to identify leakers of internal report fails. Judge said Oldknow's application “smacks of a fishing expedition”.

Oldknow's Norwich Pharmacal order application asked Labour to identify who it "reasonably believes" was responsible for leak, rather than those definitely responsible for the leak.

Key is that Labour has view on who leaked report after conducting an internal investigation, but "no smoking gun" showing beyond doubt who leaked it. Also key is that Labour's view could change after ICO and Forde investigations reveal their findings.

Latest in Oldknow v Evans. Unite has applied to intervene (union represents 5, currently anonymous, accused of leaking the report). Oldknow's QC opposes the application and says it's too late. Lawyer of Unite and 5 members says they applied asap after Tuesday hearing.

Purpose of Unite intervention would be to allow general submissions on Oldknow's application (to force Labour to reveal identities of leakers), not to directly allow unnamed to intervene. Judge expected to give decision shortly.

Judge has decided that she is going to allow Unite written submissions dated 24th February to be placed before the court focused on matters of the jurisdiction, but doesn't need to hear oral submissions from Unite's lawyer. She refuses permission for Oldknow's QC to appeal.
