The fight to become Stoke's newest MP continued today. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
Candidates spent time knocking on doors in the Stoke Central | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
constituency trying to convince people they were the right choice. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
In the run up to the election, we've been hearing | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
Today, our reporter Tom Turrell caught up with two more. | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
In five days' time, the people of Stoke-on-Trent Central | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
And the candidates are starting to ramp up campaigning. | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
More than 100 people have travelled from around the country to help | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
the Liberal Democrat candidate become the party's tenth MP. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
If I win, I would campaign hard to keep Stoke-on-Trent | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
I believe that is the only way, in the short term at least, | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
And it is the only way that we can attract more investment from other | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
Ukip are in town as well, and with wind in their sails | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
after Brexit, they hope to turn these parts purple. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
I am a national voice. I am a national party leader. | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
When I stand up and speak, people will listen. | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
So, rather than having another backbencher who will be | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
a voice in the wilderness, when I stand up in the House | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
of Commons, it will shake the establishment to its core. | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
And I can put Stoke-on-Trent Central on the political map. | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
These pictures were filmed on Wednesday. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
The Conservative candidate was campaigning today, too. | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
But despite being asked, he said he did not want to talk. | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
We will only succeed in winning by getting out there on the doorstep | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Thursday's vote is a test for all the candidates. | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
But for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, he knows only too well this | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
traditional safe seat is a test for his leadership. | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
A demonstration has been held in Birmingham by parents opposed | :01:59. | :02:03. | |

Parents say an ongoing parliamentary inquiry into MATs | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
has raised fundamental questions about them. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
The schools say they will consult fully with communities before | :02:19. | :02:22. | |

Wolves are about to kick off their sell out FA Cup home tie | :02:39. | :02:48. | |
against the Premier League leaders Chelsea. | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
The Championship side have already had away victories at top | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
flight sides Liverpool and Stoke City in the | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
Chelsea will be a formidable test as they have only | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
Not got out of the third round in a long time, I don't think. | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
Me personally, I have only ever got to the fourth round, | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
If you get through this game, as hard as it is, then | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
all of a sudden it opens up and you have a great | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
And you can listen to commentary on that match on BBC WM. | :03:19. | :03:28. | |
Today's results now and in the Championship, | :03:29. | :03:30. | |

Let's have a look at the weather forecast now. | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
A lot of cloud in the forecast over the next couple of days. | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
That being said, if you do catch a break, it is | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
feeling quite pleasant with those milder temperatures. | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
As we move through this evening and overnight, | :04:27. | :04:28. | |

Some brighter intervals through the morning before | :04:45. | :04:46. | |

Our temperatures reaching a maximum of 12 Celsius. | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
Monday is looking cloudy and mild as well, but we will see | :04:50. | :04:54. | |

It has been a mild day to day and some of us have seen some spring | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
sunshine. Blue skies and sunshine here above the River Thames. It has | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
not been sunny everywhere, though. We have got more cloud around across | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
more northerly parts of the country. Some rain to come tonight across | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
