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!

Scenario A (no Brexit)
GDP Year 1: £100
GDP Year 2: £102
GDP Year 3: £105
Total: £307

Scenario B (Brexit)
GDP Year 1: £100
GDP Year 2: £101
GDP Year 3: £103
Total: £304

This illustrates how Brexit can make us poorer even though the economy's still growing in both scenarios.
We don't have to have negative GDP growth to be poorer as a country. Growing less fast still makes us *relatively* worse off. (It's only fair to compare to the scenario where Brexit didn't happen.)

If I expected £307 but only got £304, am I
A) £4 better off
B) £3 worse off
?
And if I can point directly to Brexit as the cause of that £3 loss, it must surely be fair to say that Brexit will make us £3 worse off *than if we didn't go through with it*?

Quickfire Brexit Truth Thread...

1. We can't get decent trade deals outside the EU. Why?
We're the 6th largest economy but we're tiny compared to the sharks of the USA, the EU itself and China. (We already have trade deals with most other economies of any size thanks to the EU.)
2. We can't replace EU trade with trade with the rest of the world. Why?
The EU is near. The rest of the world is far. Look on any globe. Sea freight shipping times are guaranteed to kill just-in-time production (and rot fresh food). That geography will never change.
3. We can't replace sea freight with air freight. Why?
In 2017, the UK transported 486,000,000 tons of freight by sea versus only 2,739,000 tons by air. That’s 177 times less than we move by sea. It's literally impossible to bridge that sort of gap.

What many lose track of (even me from time to time) is that the legality of the referendum has no bearing on Brexit.

If the referendum had been squeaky clean, that might push us slightly more to try and implement it, however it wouldn't make *Brexit itself* a better idea.
It doesn't matter if 1 person voted for Brexit, or 1 billion people did... Their votes do not and indeed cannot influence the quality of Brexit. It's a bad idea because reality says so, not because of some fiddled plebiscite.
Of course, armed with proof (eg a dodge dossier on Russian interference) it would be easier to walk away from the terrible idea that is Brexit, but that's about implementation not about the fundamental concept.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...
