The reasons don't matter it just brings the break up of the UK quicker. Which will be a shame as everyone loses. ( a bit like Brexit).

Does that mean I can call myself English again instead of British?

The deal is not in danger. If it were, then you would have a point. Between the resounding Conservative majority - delivered by the UK electorate to get a deal - and Kier's abstainers (or are they voting in favour?) there's little, no meaningful outcome from the SNP voting against.

It's hardly contortions. We didn't vote for Brexit, we still vote against Brexit. If the deal failed to pass Parliament and the Tories didn't ask for an extension then that's their bus to crash, not the SNPs.

The thing is it would be subject to a referendum, and the reason these counties remained British was because they wanted to.

If they want to be part of the RoI or GB is up to them, by no means a “fait accompli”.

Re: UK & EU Agree Post-Brexit Trade Deal
 

Well if the SNP conspired with others to disable the steering wheel, that doesn't let them off the hook when the bus crashes.

Re: UK & EU Agree Post-Brexit Trade Deal
 

That bus comparision sounds like a BoJo metaphor. :D

Whether you like or dislike Ian Blackford and his colleagues or are pleased or upset that the SNP will not vote for a deal it disagrees with, it's hard to call its open decision a conspiracy.

But how will the voting decision of a few opposition parties impact the deal and "crash the bus"?

That really does help me quite a bit. :D

Hopefully they don't throttle the data plans more though.

Does it matter since you won't be allowed out to play in the foreseeable future, it'll be all work and no play till the plandemic is over.

I'm with VM which is not on that list. But at the moment, overseas travel is off the agenda anyway! Hopefully, competition will keep VM in line with the Big Four, especially given the future Telefonica connection.

The trend is towards reciprocal deals with network operators all over the world to remove roaming charges. It’s unlikely the major networks will ever reintroduce roaming charges in any European country. I think it’s likely in time that some budget operators may do so.

Re: UK & EU Agree Post-Brexit Trade Deal
 

I think it'll become a premium feature probably.

Re: UK & EU Agree Post-Brexit Trade Deal
 

Well let’s be honest it is a premium feature. In the old regime the additional costs of providing service in foreign countries on third party networks have to be spread across the bills of all users whether or not they travel overseas. That’s an especially raw deal for people on a tight budget who choose a budget mobile operator for basic services. The EU’s roaming charges directive was always about creating the illusion of a single territory, building on the principles of free movement and the single market. The reality is that all of us have been paying for the convenience of the few.
