I'm pretty sure that the EFTA Council wouldn't admit even a groveling UK back in.
Apart from the UK's arrogantly troublesome nature and demonstrable behaviour when dealing with European trading partners they are simply too large - they would swamp the existing 4-member bloc. As you say Scotland is an entirely different proposition.
There is no deal, the PM is lying, the MPs and the UK media are too thick to realise he is lying. Some of the media in the EU states are correctly reporting the status of the talks to date.
All one has to do to get to the truth, is look at the EU communications about the talks. They were "exploratory" talks, i.e. talks about talks, the actual agreements have to come later.
All that has been agreed is some vague political agreements, plus the political agreement to continue the current fishing arrangement for another 12 years. The EU will want that latter point to be converted in to a treaty.
e.g. see this Q&A document from the EU, the Commission needs to get a Mandate from the member states to begin negotiations. The outcome of those negotiations will almost certainly be a Treaty providing for the various arrangements, once the actual negotiations have concluded.
This is also the reason the PM was unable to give any details when questioned in Parliament, and batted away various questions. He can't give answers when the negotiations have not occurred, never mind concluded.
It's not designed to help Scotland quite the opposite. I reckon the LabCons' 'deal' is actually more about Scotland than any would admit...given Scotland is so pro EU and was in 2016 as shown at the ballot box and has an election in a few months time.
With this 'deal' the English administration will hope folks will believe that Scotland is just as good out of the EU now that 'deals' by their London masters are being done, thing is Scotland is being completley shafted again and left out of ANY talks, discussions, etc re any 'deal'...It's another English BritNat scam.
Scotland back in your box, shut up and sit down!
Scotland, asset stripped, robbed to the tune of £trillions, a colony in all but name. Tragic.

Sheer karma for Keir Starmer.
