Hopefully not too late to pick out three lines from the Conservative's 2017 manifesto (hard to see how these are consistent with #BINO / #BRINO). 1. "Leaving the European Union also means we will be free to strike our own trade agreements with countries outside the EU."
2. "As we leave the European Union, we will no longer be members of the single market or customs union but we will seek a deep and special partnership including a comprehensive free trade and customs agreement." (2/3)
3. "We believe the UK must seize the unique opportunities it has to forge a new
set of trade and investment relationships around the world, building a global, outwardlooking Britain". (3/3)

According to the ONS, the #GenderPayGap has continued to fall this year and is now at a record low. Despite this, '#EqualPayDay 2018’ has remained at 10th November - the same date as each of the past two years. That’s the first clue there's something fishy here... (1/5)
This is because, instead of comparing median wages (the number in the middle), the Fawcett Society uses the mean (the average of all the data). This has the effect of giving more weight to the incomes of a relatively small number of high earners at the top of companies... (2/5).
That might be OK if you want to focus (say) on CEO salaries and the underrepresention of women on boards. But it is unrepresentative of the rest of the workforce, where the #GenderPayGap has already narrowed significantly, especially for women under 39 (3/5)

Here are six of the most ridiculous claims from #ProjectFear about the impact of a clean #Brexit on businesses, prices and jobs. I’m paraphrasing to make my points, but all are staples of the #Remain camp. (1/8)
Myth 1. Businesses have become so reckless that they now rely on fragile just-in-time supply chains where even the slightest new friction would be catastrophic, and it would be impossible to adapt them without the massive disruption of relocating. (2/8)
Myth 2. Businesses selling only into the EU are so feeble that they would find it very difficult and costly to start filling in a simple customs return, even though they already manage to deal with all the other paperwork required. (3/8)

Thread: How are UK online news outlets covering #Brexit in 2018? An analysis, with data and charts!

Answer: A small handful of Conservative & Labour Backbench MPs...

For previous pieces (and methodology), see:

Cabinet vs Shadow Cabinet:
So in yesterday's analysis, we saw how the Labour Frontbench had failed to drive column inches across online news outlets. Today, I look at how the Backbenchers and @LibDems are influencing the #Brexit debate.

1/ "The United Kingdom submitted on 29 March 2017 the notification of its intention to withdraw from the Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union. This means
2/ that, unless a ratified withdrawal agreement establishes another date, all Union primary and secondary law will cease to apply to the United Kingdom from 30 March 2019, 00:00h (CET) ('the withdrawal date'). The United Kingdom will then become a 'third country'. "
3/ Sounds pretty clear to me. The EU-27 expect the UK to be gone and all our treaties and agreements CEASE and TERMINATE at 11:01pm UK time on 29th March next year.

The American psychiatrist Donald Nathanson (1936-2018) developed the 'Compass of Shame' to illustrate the various ways that human beings react when they feel shame.
Nathanson maintained that it is through the mutual exchange of expressed 'affect' (a subjective feeling experienced in response to a stimulus) that we build community, creating the emotional bonds that tie us all together.
''Shame is a master emotion, regulating the expression of other feelings.

Unlike other emotions, shame is the emotion most difficult to admit and to discharge."

Some tweets. What the Repeal Bill is for, and why it doesn't matter if it gets through parliament or not.
The Repeal Bill is a Bill of powers. It allows the government to rewrite the law as it thinks and without reference to parliament.
And the government wants that power because they don't know what laws they're going to change or in what way.

I invite you to think. That's all i ever do.
Why have the Brexit talks got stuck? Think about that. There is no reason for them to be stuck.
The talks are stuck because Britain is trying to cheat.
There is a process for leaving the European Union, but Britain won't engage with it.
Britain wants a new treaty with Europe. But the European Union does not negotiate treaties with its own members.
