News & Star subscribers can now watch our hustings with the Carlisle General Election candidates in full.

Five of the eight candidates were grilled by their future constituents on important topics from education to foreign policy, poverty to public services on Tuesday evening.

You can watch the hustings, hosted in collaboration with Armstrong Watson at their offices, in full below: 

A small group of protestors stood outside the Armstrong Watson building to make their voices heard to the candidates. They held Palestinian flags as well as signs that read "Free Palestine, end Israeli occupation."

The protestors wanted to highlight how important the Israel-Gaza conflict and it's impact on Palestinian civilians is to the people of Carlisle. 

Fiona Goldie, one of the protestors, said: "We just wanted to make sure that even if we couldn't get into the hustings to raise the issue that we could let all of the candidates know that this is an important issue to the people of Carlisle."
