Mostly yes, unless is a very thick accent like the video above.

There are other languages with bigger intra-language differences for me that make it more difficult to understand other speakers of the same language, namely Brazilian Portuguese / Azorian Portuguese, and Metropolitan French / Quebec French.

Unless you tack in creole English.

I can understand about 80 percent of the British Isles, give me a couple hours exposure to get used to the flow of the conversation and it is closer to 92 percent. If you have a few pints of beer it is closer to 98 percent.
Won't lie. Some rural British people sound like they are speaking a whole other language. I had to turn on closed captioning to understand the dialogue in the movie Kes. I guess Yorkshire has a thick accent.

No, I can't even understand British people with their silly little accents. Are those guys ever going to drop the act?

What a ridiculous thing to say.

You do know that the Northern Irish and Scots are British, right? As well as the Welsh and a few other places that have regional accents.

You think accents are an act? You do know your own peoples have accents right?

Love Scottish accent.

Neil Oliver soothes me, even as he calmly narrates the end of Western civilization, one monologue at a time. Such a perfect accent.
Shame lockdown turned him into a wacko.

England is still a nation even if it lacks the devolved government. The regions was considered by some as an act of attempted sabotage by a previous government. The process was rejected in the north democratically, so the government gave up on it. Local governments are still made up of county councils in England.
The accents I can almost always understand unless you're talking really remote parts. I think both are awesome.

They're quite different accents, though. I always thought it was odd they get lumped together so often just because of regional proximity.

The slang on the other hand...
I absolutely adore the slang (of both) but understand it maybe 1/3 of the time lol. Getting better by watching regional shows xD

The poster didn't say England, they said British. And even to say English is silly, since there are many very different accents within England.
Scots' when you can't tell the difference between a mouse and a moose.
I understand both, with a couple of exceptions

1 - Strong Glaswegian accent
2 - Pikey

Being a Scouser probably helps.
Accents are fascinating and usually I do not have much problems, but I can retaliate with accent heavy Chinglish.
