Theresa May is known to be an effective and visible constituency MP (at least since 2001) even when she was PM, I do wonder if her recent decision to stand down could have been based on experiencing an increasing tide turning to the LDs in Maidenhead. I can imagine people saying 'thanks, but no thanks' to the conservatives this time.
Maidenhead now has the potential to be the equivalent of Angela Merkel's old constituency in terms of symbolism, which was lost after her stepping down (the only difference here being the LDs being the beneficiary rather than Labour, whereas in Germany it went straight to the SPD). Huntingdon could even be another one, Uxbridge less surprisingly so.

Talk of an unofficial pact between the LDs and Labour has certainly not reached here - parents received a leaflet which used a screenshot of Electoral Calculus to say the LDs had no chance and you should vote Labour.

So exactly the same thing as they argued in 2019 then. And 2017. And 2015.

To be fair the Lib Dems did have no chance in any of those elections - they couldn't even beat Labour in 2015 and 2017.

True enough, but nor did Labour.

Vote Labour, we also have no chance but in our defence it is Maidenhead.
