"The US trade representative suggested the UK’s decision to abandon tariffs on Boeing did not go far enough, and was not considered to be a concession, because after leaving the EU, Britain would not have the right to impose retaliatory tariffs on the US."

We're gonna get our pants absolutely pulled down on a Trade Deal with the US and the amount of positive bile off the back of it will be unreal.

We don't want tariffs, that just makes everything more expensive.

Just had notification from my mobile provider that roaming charges will start again in a whole list of EU countries from 1st January. No doubt one of many incoming Brexit bonuses.

That sucks!

I guess it will be the same for car insurance?

Switch your phone off on holiday and wait for a company to come out with a phone for business travellers in the EU.

The internet is quite useful for everyday life, whether on holiday or not.

Brexit - U.K. made for the 21st Century!

(Gove can have that for the side of his new bus, by the way)

I don’t think it’s possible to be part of society without an internet connection now.

Internet is full of perverts or people whinging on football forums.

Rumours are a deal tomorrow. Boris will give up LPF for a minor win on fishing (that he can sell politically).

Sounds like a terrible deal then.

Hotel WiFi is generally free and faster

None of the main networks are introducing roaming charges, you can always switch.

You have a bricky provider or contract then.

I don't pay roaming charges anywhere except the kind of countries that probably don't have mobile coverage anyway.

The EU is not required for roaming calls or data - to my knowledge the US has never been in the EU and I don't pay a penny there.

Yes, it is.

That's not much good in the street.

But it's possible to outside of society with one - see this place

Was actually going to say I did not pay roaming charges in Gambia or Thailand actually.

If it were just perverts in the EU I could sign up to it. Eurotrash was my favourite show growing up.

Sound like great holidays if you are on your phone in the street all the time.
