Kilroy-Silk to stand against Hoon

Kilroy-Silk is planning to stand as a candidate for his new party, Veritas, in the Defence Secretary, Geoff Hoon's constituency, Ashfied in Nottinghamshire.

He believes he has a good chance of overturning Labour's 13,268 majority. His campaign is expected to focus on Mr Hoon's role in the Iraq war.
