More than 300 packed in to Portobello Town Hall for the hustings event organised by Portobello Community Council last night (Wednesday, 22 April, 2015).

All seven candidates standing in Edinburgh East attended and were given equal opportunity to speak and answer questions from the audience.

Proceedings were lively and interesting, with plenty of audience interaction.

Many thanks to guest chair Oonagh O’Brien of Queen Margaret University and all the candidates for taking part.

The following is a summary of the Twitter coverage by members of the audience using the tags #edeast and #GE2015.
