Friday 14 November is an important day because it is the last chance for parties to register candidates with the Electoral Commission, or withdraw them. After that the lists are frozen.

So all deals and pacts have to be finalised by then. Expect frantic horse trading!
It also means that, after 14 November:
A) Parties, eg the Brexit Party, could say they're not going to fight certain seats (they could stop campaigning there for instance) but their candidates will still be on the actual ballot
B) Parties are stuck with scandalous candidates (!)
Um, I've just been reminded that the 14th is Thursday. Sorry about that. It's definitely the deadline, though!

Here's why we will *never* get good trade deals outside the EU... It's hardly rocket science. We may be the 6th largest economy in the world, but the graph drops off like a cliff. We're small fry compared to the sharks: the USA, EU and China. We have no chance!
#Marr #Ridge
And before you go all "but Brexit was not about the economy" on me, how do you think we pay for everything else? Can't tackle the NHS, hire more police, reverse school cuts or do anything else if the asteroid strike of Brexit has cratered the UK economy. Wakey wakey!
Finally, we're the world's 6th largest economy (used to be the 5th before Brexit, but who's counting) *because* we're in the EU, not *despite* of it! So using our supposed economic strength as an argument to "prove" we'll be OK if we go it alone is logically absurd.

Since the 2016 referendum, the EU has secured free trade deals with:
- Japan
- Canada
- Singapore
- Vietnam
- MERCOSUR group nations (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay & Uruguay)

That means after Brexit, we're not just giving up what we had in June 2016, but a lot more besides!
Japan: €6.5 billion in exports, €11.4 billion in imports. Our 6th largest non-EU trading partner. Estimated 90,915 UK jobs dependent on our trade with Japan.
ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/i…
Canada: €9 billion in exports, €14 billion in imports. Our 5th largest non-EU trading partner. Estimated 240,000 UK jobs dependent on our trade with Canada.

1. Am I the only one infuriated with the view that if @theresa_may and @jeremycorbyn agree a #brexit #customsunion then all is fine. This ignores the fact that it is leaving the #singlemarket that is the killer for business making, importing or exporting products. Why? A thread..
2/ Much of the commercial debate around #Brexit has focused on whether we stay in the #CustomsUnion or not. That is because this is the current battle between #Conservatives and #Labour. If Labour prevailed, and the UK remains in a Customs Union, then the tariff issue dies
3/ However, the much bigger problem relates to the #SingleMarket. Neither main party wants to stay in the Single Market because you can’t have free movement of goods, services and capital without accepting the same for people. But abandoning the single market means...

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
