I am not surprised to read any of this, what surprises me is how little coverage this received by the British media, some small blogs/websites but nothing from The Guardian on this, for example, they're usually "on it" when it comes to criticising anything the Tories do or say. The fact that Sunak chose LinkedIn... I dunno how anyone can read this and not say this isn’t Sunak serving his Masters

As I mentioned repeatedly, the deal will close, 100%. What I am not sure of, however, is the fate of the CMA. I won't be surprised if other mega corporations like Apple are also lobbying the governments to stand up for this. Apple continues to stockpile cash that they may need to buy something with one day if their services require a little boost, a body like the CMA blocking them from acquiring Netflix, Disney, etc isn't a headache they want to remotely worry about if they don't have to.

This is the juiciest story to follow for sure, I can't wait to read MS appeal and Sunak's "strategic steer of the CMA"
