Sainsbury's and Asda merger blocked by competition watchdogThe competition watchdog has blocked Sainsbury's and Asda's £10bn merger after finding it would lead to increased prices in stores, online and across petrol stations.

Sainsbury's-Asda merger blockedA merger between the supermarkets would be bad for consumers, says UK competition watchdog.
