THE deputy leader of UKIP, Paul Nuttall, has warned people that the European Union’s decision to cut mobile phone charges abroad is not as good as it sounds.

The North West MEP said the new law will mean people calling in the UK will subsidise travellers making roaming calls abroad.

He added: “This action will increase costs for the majority to cut costs for the minority. The reality is pensioners on pay-as-you-go will be subsiding EU fat cats. That cannot be right.”
