Sir Max __, editor who declared Boris Johnson unfit for national office (8)

hastings

(Other definitions for hastings that I've seen before include "Ten Sixty-Six battle" , "Not a good place for Harold" , "English town" , "East Sussex seaside resort" , "somewhere in Sussex" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
