Friday newspaper round-up: Facebook, Morrisons, Ultra Electronics, Vectura

Fri 20 Aug 2021 07:30

(Sharecast News) - The Federal Trade Commission on Thursday refiled its antitrust case against Facebook, arguing the company holds monopoly power in social networking and renewing the fight to rein in big tech. The agency also dismissed a request from Facebook that its chair, Lina Khan, step aside in the case because of her criticism of them in the past. - Guardian Morrisons has agreed a £7bn takeover by the US private equity group Clayton, Dubilier & Rice in the latest round in a fierce fight for control of the country's fourth largest supermarket chain. The Bradford-based grocer confirmed on Thursday night it had accepted an improved offer of 285p per share from the private equity firm that bettered the offer on the table from rival suitor Fortress. - Guardian

Ministers blocking the £2.6bn sale of Ultra Electronics to a private equity-backed buyer would be an act of "political and economic suicide", a top shareholder has warned. The takeover of the defence company by Cobham must go ahead despite national security concerns or international investors will question Britain's commitment to open markets, the shareholder told The Telegraph. - Telegraph

The chief executive of Philip Morris International has lashed out at opponents of his widely condemned bid for the British inhaler maker Vectura, accusing them of "settling old scores" against the tobacco industry. Jacek Olczak claimed critics of the £1.1bn takeover, which include the charities Asthma UK and the British Lung Foundation, were "not interested in progress" and seeking to prevent the company moving away from cigarette sales. - Telegraph

Lloyds Banking Group's push into residential letting appears to be more ambitious than it had previously disclosed, with internal documents showing it aims to own 50,000 homes for rental within nine years. An internal job advertisement for a director role in Citra Living, its new property rental division, reveals the scale of its intentions, with a target for it to make £300 million in annual profit by 2025. - The Times

(Sharecast News) - Britain is "sleepwalking into a food crisis" caused by extreme weather, inflation and the impacts of the Iran war - and the government is failing to take the threat seriously, food experts have said. Farmers are facing severe strain from the current heatwave following a dry spring, with many crops likely to yield less as temperatures rise beyond their tolerance. Livestock are also suffering heat stress and there is a rising risk of wildfires. Economic losses are likely to be measured in the hundreds of millions of pounds. - Guardian

(Sharecast News) - Cancelled government projects such as the Rwanda deportation scheme and the road tunnel under Stonehenge are wasting billions of pounds of taxpayer money a year, parliament's spending watchdog has found. About £6.6bn was written off by government departments last year alone - state spending that did not achieve its intended objectives or create any value for the taxpayer, the public accounts committee said. - Guardian
