Deliveroo agrees to Β£2.9bn takeover by DoorDash The deal is the latest example of a UK-listed company being taken over by a US rival.

NO! Why do UK business always sell out to the US? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... We can never make Europe independent if we keep selling our success stories. Terrible, terrible news.

The West End Is Set To Welcome A New State-Of-The-Art Theatre As Planning Permission Has Just Been Granted The curtain could soon be raised on a shiny new theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue that's set to become the first permanent home of Cirque du Soleil.

In reality shows, there always seems to be a personal insight to each character's backstory in the penultimate or final episode. Why? Does anyone actually care about this at this point? It always seems so forced and unnecessary. #TheApprentice #GBBO #GreatBritishMenu

What’s happening to big city density in England in five charts - Centre for Cities Apart from London, big cities have barely densified outside their centres over the past decade

An interesting report from @centreforcities.bsky.social I expect there to be notable change in with the recent upturn in resi builds in Leeds, though, that is infilling a lot of suburban gaps (eg Seacroft) and dense brownfield builds in the city (eg Holbeck)

Very disappointing to see a small group of people holding the city to ransom. It's also what's fuelling the massive expansion at Manchester, causing even more intensive flight operations there with the overall effect of increasing CO2 emissions above what they'd be if Leeds was better served.

K Pop, streaming, Taylor Swift: 'Threats' facing UK pop music in bestseller charts British acts miss out on the worldwide annual music charts for the first time in two decades.

Brexit has made it much harder for acts to tour, while it's also made the entire country (a lot) poorer so people just can't take the financial risk of a music career like they were more able to ten years ago: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Freedom of Movement was robbed from us by a successful Russian influence operation and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

Yes I am, for now at least. Had to get out of the UK after Brexit - couldn't deal with the toxicity of it all. Plus I don't really think the UK is going to ever succeed again until its reversed so I'm riding out the storm in the Med.
