I just noted that the IET is reporting that Nvidia has cancelled its acquisition of ARM due to regulatory challenges!!
Apparently Softbank are as a result apparently preparing to take the
company public with a share offering.

And we need HMG to slap foreign ownership restrictions on the newly
listed company, so it can never again be taken over by an external entity.

There was a suggestion Softbank might go for an American listing as
tech companies tend to be valued higher on the US markets. I don't
know if that would affect what our government could do.

Judging by their response to what's happening in the energy market, our current government will not intervene at all but let capitalism deal with
the consequences.
Given the current Government's desperation to prove that Brexit has
some (any) advantages then I'm sure that the MP for the 18th Century
will be doing his best in his new brief as Minister for for Brexit Opportunities to ensure that American investors get the best deal
possible! Got to give a sweetie or two to the Yanks to persuade them
to sign up for special deals along the lines of the Australian one, no
matter how deleterious they are to UK trade.

The Haunted Pencil, Minister for Oxymorons.
"What have we got, Humphrey?"
"There's only one benefit, Minister. We'll be able to join the EU."
"Quite right. We couldn't do that while we were members now, could we?"
I have a niggling suspicion that the Benefits of Brexit should have been properly examined in about 2015.
Instead, what we got was Lying Boris doing what he does: lying.

<Sweeping statement>
95% of politicians (Probably more, I'm being generous) lie, cheat and connive, it is the nature of the beast.
If someone aspiring to get elected doesn't tell some porkies, re-arrange
the deckchairs etc, they'd never get elected.
Cynic... Yes with bells on. ;-)
And the media don't do a very good job of taking them to task.
