I think Labour are desperately trying to flood us with policy statements to try to remind people that "an Election is not just for Brexit". I have no doubt these will all find their way into the manifesto, since they have been reduced to feverishly creating policies to fill the void that was clearly there (because they thought they had 3 more years to come up with polices), and they might even make some form of coherent whole when they do, but few people read manifestos, they just rely on the media (and the politicians) to digest them into sound bites. Speaking of which, they could do with a consistent slogan - it seems to change every day - though nobody would thank them if they tried to ram it down our throats as much as the vacuous "strong and secure" one.
BoJo is a liability in an election where May is trying to win votes in t'north, and only really of use in the south east. Abbott is a liability outside her own constituency and always sounds as if she is talking down to people. McDonnell has to overcome a chequered past where the media will focus on all the black squares and none of the white ones.
