Five weeks of general election campaigning are coming to an end today.

Tomorrow we'll vote in the first December election since 1923, with 17 seats up for grabs in Kent.

Also in today's episode: a crash on the A2 has caused hours of delays for thousands of drivers, and Princess Anne has been in Kent to unveil a new hospital helipad.
