A few of the Brexiters’ promises during the referendum, such as £350 million a week to the NHS would of course be welcomed. However, the problem is that none of them are true and none of these have been followed through. We will be worse of in every situation post-#Brexit.

This is RUMINT, but pretty credible RUMINT: Trump preparing to fire Sessions, name Pruitt Acting AG (which he can be since he already holds a Senate confirmed position), and Pruitt fires Mueller. And McMaster likely to be replaced by Bolton. Shulkin also on way out, FWIW.
