Undecided voter Lizzie Brophy, a commercial manager for Stiller, said there wasn't enough information to help her make up her mind.

"The people in the parties aren't answering questions, they're just talking around the subject or using big headers like Brexit, no-deal, deal, but there's nothing underneath that that explains which way my vote should go."

Asked if her vote would be about Brexit, she replied: "I think other things are more important, we've been in the EU for such a long time, there's nothing concrete really in people saying why we should leave."

Paula Kempin, who owns The 68 Cafe high above the Durham dales, has plenty of regulars from Bishop Auckland.

She said: "I'm not voting just for Brexit, which is why at the moment I'm still really torn."

Nigel Farage's Brexit Party think they can take crucial votes in the constituency.

But Paula said: "That's the wrong decision, if that's his tactics it's the wrong decision, because he should withdraw."

Various BBC outlets has been reporting all day from Bishop Auckland so let's hear from a few of the voters in the town, where Labour is aiming to retain their seat.

Brexit supporter and businessman Arron Banks is speaking at Oxford University's debating society.

On Monday, Mr Banks praised Nigel Farage's decision not to stand Brexit Party candidates in 317 seats as "brilliant".

If you didn't already know about it, BBC Radio 1's Newbeat is touring the country in a camper van during the election campaign to hear from voters.

Expect this vehicle to clock up a lot of miles!

Volunteer conservation trainee Alison Laing joined the Newsbeat camper van in Bishop Auckland to talk about what she wants to see during the election campaign.

She said: "It's not just about Brexit, it's such an important opportunity to tackle a few different issues at the same time, you can't just think about Brexit, you need to think about the environment, education, all that sort of thing."

Earlier, Jeremy Corbyn suggested there might be inequality in the response to areas which get flooded, saying: "If this had happened in Surrey instead of Yorkshire and the East Midlands, I think it would have been a very different story."

So is it fair to say that richer neighbourhoods with higher-priced houses get more attention or funding when they flood?

"There's two answers to that," says Dr Liz Sharp, a senior lecturer in urban studies and planning from the University of Sheffield.

She says there's a "cost spend analysis" formula used to work out whether to fund flood defences, which pays attention to different things.

"It does pay some attention to the value of property. It also has a compensatory measure that puts a little bit of extra value on areas which are quite poor, the more deprived parts of the country."

She says her position is that the compensatory measures for poor areas "probably doesn't" balance out the formula's emphasis given to areas with high-value property.

But she adds: "Over and above that, what we can see from the history of flood risk management and funding, is that there's also a thing about places that get a lot of attention through the media attracting funding."

For example, comparing previous flooding in Somerset and in Hull, "Somerset farmers managed to command political attention in a way that the poorer residents of Hull did not".

On Monday Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage announced his party would not run in the 317 seats won by the Tories in 2017, but would continue to stand elsewhere.

His decision was criticised by some members of his own party, one of whom said he had "betrayed" Brexiteers". But others said Mr Farage's decision to continue to stand in Labour-held seats risked splitting the Brexit vote.

He has been on Twitter to defend his decision:

Now all One Direction fans will know that singer Louis Tomlinson is very proud of his hometown of Doncaster.

So when a social enterprise in Doncaster - ReRead - which gives books away to disadvantaged families - appealed for help after losing 100,000 books in the flooding, they asked Louis to raise awareness.

The pop star hasn't responded yet, but local MP Ed Miliband (the former Labour leader) has been quick to retweet news of their efforts.

ReRead is trying to raise £15,000 following significant flood damage to its warehouse and office.

The emergency Cobra meeting, chaired by the PM following the flooding in the North of England, is expected to wrap up shortly.

It's not clear if it will be followed by an immediate statement but we will keep you updated.

Politicians needing evidence of the destruction caused by the flooding - which had become today's central campaign theme - could look in on Louise and Eddie Rayner's situation.

They have been forced to evacuate their caravan site in Bentley, Doncaster – one of the areas severely affected by the flooding on Friday.

Water seeped through their carpet, causing the floorboards to collapse.

“We’ve lost everything. There’s not much I can do or say," says Eddie.

"We’re actually living in a double-decker bus until we get this sorted”, says Louise.

“It’s so devastating that this has happened. I’ve even lost a picture of my grandma and grandad.”

The water levels have now started to drop but there is a risk the water could come back with more rain.

Green Party deputy leader Amelia Womack says - in agreement with other opposition parties today - that the flooding in England should be classed as "a national emergency" by the prime minister.

However she also says "this is about a long-term emergency and a climate emergency".

"We know that the IPCC (International Panel for Climate Change) told us we would get increased floods in this country.

"We are seeing the effects winter after winter after winter.

"It is homes and communities that get destroyed as a result of long-term action not been put in place."

Liz Evenden-Kenyon has stepped down as the Liberal Democrat candidate for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, the seat currently held by Boris Johnson.

Dr Evenden-Kenyon says she has made the decision for family reasons and that it "pains me more than you know".

Klaxon!! Electioncast will be coming up live on the BBC News Channel at 20:30 GMT so you can watch it there or via the iPlayer. It'll also be available afterwards to listen to or download via BBC Sounds.

Here is Monday's if you missed it.

BBC Radio 5 Live asked people in the town what they care about ahead of the general election on 12 December. Take a look.

A reminder that seats like Bishop Auckland could decide the election result - it's currently Labour-held, but by a slender margin, and other parties have it in their sights too.

Responding to reports that Labour has been hit by second DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack, a party spokesperson said:

DDoS attacks direct huge amounts of internet traffic at a target in an effort to overwhelm computer servers, causing their software to crash.

They are often carried out via a network of hijacked computers and other internet-connected devices known as a botnet.

The owners of which may be unaware their equipment is involved.

DDoS attacks are not normally recognised as being a hack as they do not involve breaking into a target's systems to insert malware.

Brexit campaigner Arron Banks, founder of Leave.EU, says Brexit is under threat and the only way to ensure it happens is by Boris Johnson winning a majority in the election.

The long-time ally of Nigel Farage has been speaking a day after the Brexit Party announced it would not run candidates in seats won by the Tories at the 2017 general election.

Mr Banks told Reuters: "We need to see further moves to stand down candidates in marginal seats they can’t win and go for the 40 or so Labour seats where the Tories haven’t got a hope.

"Brexit is under threat. There are 48 hours to save Brexit and save the country from a (Jeremy) Corbyn government," he said.

Parties have until 16:00 GMT on Thursday - that's the 48 hours he's referring to - to decide which candidates will appear on the ballot paper.

He added: "Nigel reminds me of a gambler at a casino that’s been winning all night and it’s time to take the chips off the table and step away. What we are offering the geezer, as you might say, is Brexit."

As we mentioned, Jeremy Corbyn is visiting Bentley, near Doncaster, along with his predecessor and local election candidate Ed Miliband.

Mr Corbyn met those affected by the floods at a community pop-up centre helping with supplies.

He said: "It’s an emergency for the people here and it’s a national responsibility’ to deal with the floods."

Boris Johnson is currently chairing a meeting of the government's emergency committee Cobra to discuss the flooding.

There have been reports that the Labour Party has been hit by a second cyber attack - details of the first emerged this morning.

The BBC's home affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani says that's entirely to be expected with Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks of this kind.

"The targeted website can receive multiple and repeated hits over hours or days, depending on the resources available to the attacker and, potentially, how much their client has paid to and take down the victim," he says.
