I'm feeling despondent about brexit so I'm hoping to hear what the positives are of the deal we have.

That it wasn't a no-deal crash out, I suppose.

True, there's that.

We won't have to worry about what to do with all the money we make at the Nissan factory.

Much better than not having one.

But otherwise - it's a very unambitious deal, is what I'm hearing from people who know about these things. There are a few areas where the details are a bit better than had been expected (aviation, some mutual healthcare coverage, some very limited scope for business travellers to carry out work while in the EU) but also many areas which are surprisingly bad for the U.K. (fish; nothing on services; nothing for creative industries). But mostly it's what everyone has been expecting for months now - a very thin deal that doesn't do much for anyone except lawyers and customs officers.
