Is Sainsbury's and Asda are allowed to merge, is there really any point in having a Competition & Markets Authority? Asking for a friend.

Here’s my first take on my scoop that Asda and Sainsbury’s are in advanced talks about a £10bn merger that would – if approved by regulators – help to accelerate the reshaping of Britain’s embattled retail sector. https://t.co/UPvL4ugUeD

BATSHIT BREXIT BRITAIN (AND NORN IRON)
For heavens sake, Brexit is just an endless series of capitulations and desperate attempts to retain what we already enjoy. What an utter waste of time, effort, money.#StopBrexit https://t.co/8eM1EgfVTm

Exclusive: The European Commission is "deeply concerned" by the lack of work Britain has done to roll over trade deals. It has briefed the rest of the EU about UK government "indecision" and Liam Fox's "failure to grasp basic concepts and trade-offs" https://t.co/ksHmu35FTa

I’m hearing more people saying this.
However, we must be clear that this is not the doing of ‘remoaners’. We have been sidelined.
It is Brexit collapsing under its own greedy unworkable contradictions.
‘Remoaners’ are just prepping the path out.https://t.co/tEq5XsMiwV
