It might be wishful thinking, but there seems to be a slight air of desperation from the Tories now.
A small swing in various marginals to Lab/LibDem/etc would really really hurt them.
While they've not had any policy flubs ala May's Inheritance stuff, Johnson has been an absolute disaster

I took great pleasure in telling a nice old lady to jog on yesterday when she knocked on my door to check that I'd got my postal vote application and that she hoped she could count on my vote for Henry Smith (incumbent MP, conservative).
BYE!

That’s a pretty amazing swing from the last election if true about Raab. He had 25,000 more votes than the Lib Dem candidate last time.

Looks like Raab hadn't quite understood the full extent of the importance of voters in his constituency.

The IFS believes council tax will be higher under the Tories than either Labour or the Lib Dems.
The money allocated by the Conservatives would not be sufficient to meet rising costs and demands over the next parliament even if council tax were increased by 4% a year, necessitating a further retrenchment in services or unfunded top-ups to the plans set out.
The Labour party has allocated more than enough money to meet rising costs and demands, allowing increases in service provision and quality, although not enough to restore them to 2010 levels. That is true even if council tax were frozen – although Labour has no plans for such a freeze.
The Liberal Democrats have allocated enough money to meet rising costs and demands if council tax is increased by 2% a year – although only if some the funding earmarked for bus services, youth services or homelessness is used to meet these pressures.
