Is London Calling for Dan Snow? The Clash of the classes kicks off in Kensington

Following news that the Tories are apparently hoping telegenic posho historian Dan Snow will stand in Kensington, class war looks to be coming to the streets of the Royal Borough. Ian Bone, the publisher of revolutionary tabloid Class War, will stand against Snow if he’s selected for the Tories.

A source close to Bone tells Mr S: ‘The remaining members of The Clash have offered support along with other music legends from Ladbroke Grove.’

That’s one more celebrity endorsement than Ed Miliband ever managed then.

Update: Class War have released a nifty poster as part of their campaign
