By Election test for Labour
Brent East constituency
See a full list of candidates below
Tony Blair faces another test tomorrow - on top of the pressure his government's under from the Hutton Inquiry.

Sixteen candidates are standing in a by-election in Brent East, triggered by the death of the Labour MP Paul Daisley.

The constituency was once represented by the MP Ken Livingstone - and is normally considered a safe Labour seat.

But it looks as though public unease over the war in the Gulf could make it a closer race than expected.
