Next month the country will go to the polls to decide the next Prime Minister.
Election campaigning is heating up in the run up to polling day on December 12.
Most opinion polls show the Conservatives in the lead nationally in a race which so far, has largely focused on Brexit.
In east London, Labour will be expecting to hold a number of traditionally safe seats.
