The YouGov poll has South Cambs (Heidi Allen's former seat) going from Conservative to LD on a huge swing, which suggests they've taken local factors into account quite carefully.

Claire Wright in East Devon is potentially going to be an interesting story on Thursday Night, she is a local independent councillor, never been a member of any party, who seems to be on course to become the MP.

So it now transpires that the source of a "my friend is a nurse and the photo is faked" lie is herself closely linked to Matt Hancock.
She claimed to have been hacked...

And despite it being thoroughly debunked the whole smear campaign has done it's job. I gave up arguing with someone yesterday because "There's no smoke" etc and he could have been in a chair not on the floor so it was staged. I bet she's got an axe to grind etc. Also he didn't really have pneumonia in the end so she's part of the MHS's problems wasting their time.
Of course she's got an axe to grind. Her son didn't have a bed! A chair isn't the same thing.
A lie is halfway round the world before the truth get's it's boots on.

As a parent who once had a four year old boy, in hospital, seriously ill with pneumonia, I can assure you that the last thing on my mind was how to mock up a photo-opportunity of the occasion to best discredit the Conservative Party.

It's all over Twitter. I'll not add to the pile-on by posting her name but she's a secretary in her husband's private medical clinic nowhere near Leeds and has been photographed with Teresa May and her son is a FB friend of Hancock.
BTW it's an interesting lesson in telling fake from real news. All of what I have posted has been described independently by multiple real people with genuine Twitter accounts rather than being repeated unattributed cut and paste jobs from bots and trolls.
The most important "skill" in working out who to believe is actually wanting to know the truth rather than lazily preferring to believe the convenient lies of your own "side". It does take a bit of time and effort though.
