It does appear that the deadline for both registering as a candidate in the elections, and for withdrawing, has passed. According to the official Electoral Commission guidance, the two deadlines are the same (sections 1.33 and 1.35 and 1.52)

The withdrawal form also has a deadline of 4pm on the 19th working day before polling on it. And today's that day, incredible though that seems.

In other words, the candidate lists are now set in stone, for sure.

What does that mean?

It means the time for formal electoral pacts is over. (Thanks for nothing, Labour!)

Any future accommodations will have to involve candidates "not really trying" because their names will still appear on the ballot on polling day.
So from now on, any and all scandals that emerge "stick" in that parties can't swap out candidates.

Next key deadline is the cutoff for registering to vote (26 November).
