I’ve heard it mentioned that whilst the Lib Dems are knocking on lots of doors and delivering lots of leaflets it was agreed not to go to early and too hard on garden signs in case the election campaign dragged on and we were seen to peak too soon.

I get that, but it makes sense for Labour to get signs up early to establish themselves as the main challengers. There are arguments from both sides.

The BBC saying that they expect this to be on October 12 or 19, i.e. either one week or two weeks after Rutherglen & Hamilton W.

Rather annoyingly that only includes post-1945 results and there doesn't seem to a comprehensive record of by-election results easily accessible other than on Wikipedia which should be taken with a bit of salt especially when not sourced.

Might it put off some people though in a sort of “how do they afford to do this” sort of way, or “that’s where all the Union money is going”. A sort of Kinnock style high-budget glossy hubristic campaign may put some people in the simpler more rural parts off.

Too few megaphones and pickup trucks in politics now.

Also it isn't "Kinnock-style". Kinnock did a premature (and ultimately of course wrong) victory celebration. This is part of a campaign to win votes. Not the same at all.

My dad lives in Bedford so I'll be passing through this seat a few times before the poll.
I remember in 2019 you saw huge Lib Dem diamonds in St Albans constituency.
Maybe the Lib Dems do that here. I think Tories hold due to split opposition.
Look what happened in the recent Bedford mayoral election for example.
