The Evening Standard election hustings will go ahead, despite the weekend’s attacks. We will be discussing the key issues in the run-up to Thursday’s poll at our debate, chaired by ITV’s Robert Peston.

At this rescheduled event, hosted by Evening Standard Editor George Osborne, senior figures from the major parties will make their pitch and answer your questions.

Taking part are Greg Hands, Conservative candidate for Chelsea and Fulham, Labour’s candidate for Islington South Emily Thornberry, Green London Assembly member and mayoral candidate in 2016 Sian Berry and Sir Vince Cable, Liberal Democrat candidate for Twickenham. Labour's Diane Abbott pulled out of the event citing illness.

You can follow the action at #ESHustings or watch it live on the Evening Standard’s Facebook page.

The Evening Standard General Election Hustings will take place at Church House Conference Centre, Westminster, on Tuesday June 6. Doors open at 6.30pm, and the hustings start at 7.10pm.

Tickets have been issued through the promotion for the previous date, May 24, which had to be cancelled due to the cessation of national campaigning following events in Manchester.
