BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, Party leaders in last election push

On the eve of polling day, this is a special programme from Birmingham.

In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective. On the eve of polling day, this is a special programme from Birmingham.

On the eve of the British General Election vote, the whole programme comes from one of the key battlegrounds - England's West Midlands. 
We take an in depth look at the economy in Coventry - a city with a global reputation for automotive expertise - but also one where many people are barely getting by. 
We speak to the newly elected Midlands Mayor Andy Street - and look back at the key moments of the campaign with former Labour spin doctor Lance Price and the Times columnist Matthew Parris.
