The net closes in on the Donald

Now the Leader of the Free World fires the head of the FBI, despite being his best friend not that long ago.

Surely the net is closing in now and his impeachment can't be far away - but as always, be careful what you wish for, some of the really nasty ones are sitting quietly in the background at the moment - hello Mr VP...

Also, while it is easy, far too easy, to laugh at Trump and his compulsive lies and idiocy, we must not be sidetracked from what is happening here in the UK.
PM May has changed the name of The Conservatives to her own name for some rallies, and she is using the major issue of the day to split the country again, no, not Brexit - Fox Hunting.

Also, her and JC have been very selective in what media they talk to and when, with almost all the media playing along, so we are getting a One Show version of politics, with very few serious grillings.

And finally, let's not forget one of the reasons for the election seems to have been very much to throw an investigation into electoral fraud for a number of Conservative MPs.

Funny old times etc...

Brexit Britain - Tell me the good news?

Totally bored of lies and idiotic soundbites, from all sides.

There has been no debate, a shambles of a campaign, from both sides, full of lies and absolute bullshit which shows no sign of ending.

For me, I was a "Remain" voter, and still believe that was right.

However, as the public are allowed to vote on issues they can't possibly understand, we are leaving the EU as voted for, and I don't believe this will or should be changed.
We are also leaving a lot more than the binary question asked about the EU, and since the vote in June I have seen a lot of bad news, personally and work wise experienced many negative impacts and plans for more ahead - and this leads me to my question to anyone who voted "Leave" and still believes it is the right thing to do.

Explain to me, in under 1000 words, without using pointless and meaningless phrases like Taking Back Control, exactly what positives there are to look forward to?
Economically, socially, politically, personal - anything that as a result of Mrs Mays negotiations will make Britain better off in the short and long term.

No point scoring, no arguments, I just really want to understand what the views are that I cannot fathom from what I see and experience.

Thanks in advance
