Good news for the Class War candidate in Kensington

After Mr S brought you the news last week that old-school anarchist and ‘Class War’ editor Ian Bone wanted to run in Kensington, his class struggle group – in a surprisingly officious process – held an ‘adoption meeting’ for him last night to make him their candidate.

Bone updates Steerpike on his strategy:

‘If Dan Snow is adopted as Tory candidate there will be rioting in the streets – we’ll make sure of that. There is no way people here will tolerate the Duke of Westminster’s son-in-law being foisted on them.’

Well Mr S has good news for both Bone and the citizens of Kensington. Dan Snow is not going to be the Tory candidate. You can put the Molotov cocktails down now.
