The BBC's Jonathan Blake talks to voters in the West Midlands constituency ahead of the by-election.

The ladies behind the counter in Sweet Treats on Wem High Street have a rule: "We don't talk politics!"

"They need to be aware it's a market county, a rural area, there's no point in somebody coming from London or Birmingham or Manchester."That might be hard to hear for the Conservative candidate, Neil Shashtri-Hurst, who's from Birmingham. Reform, formerly the Brexit party, will aim to pick up disaffected Conservatives and the Green Party will hope dominance of Oswestry Town Council can earn them more support."They must be local," say the workers in Sweet Treats about their next MP

The stupid thing is even if the Tories lost, they would win the seat at the next election. Good chance they will lose as a chance to have a protest vote with few consequences

If the voters there have the same toxic moral compass as Bexley, then yes. Voting for corruption isn't British. We as a country have lost our way.

Time to let the Conservatives know that corruption in their ranks is not longer acceptable.

Oh dear god, I hope not.🙏🏼

The voters have be lied to since before brexit, nothing will change, lambs to the slaughter.

I'm sure the BBC will everything in its power to make the Conservatives lose,

Another retiree, Joe Leadbetter-Smith, raises immigration as an issue which might sway his vote. 'We need to do something about it,' he says, but is happy with Boris Johnson's Conservatives in government. 'I like him, I think he's doing a good job.'🙄
