A consortium bought it out at 1p.
As a shareholder I sold out at 3p, just before the 1p offer
Another loss making punt of mine,

The United Kingdom's government is planning to propose introducing a carbon border tax on imported steel to help the country's industry in that field, the Financial Times reported on Monday, citing two sources familiar with the situation.
The outlet suggested the government will impose a carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) and order entities operating in Britain to pay for the carbon emissions foreign steel creates.
Earlier, it was reported that Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt is planning to allocate approximately £600 million to aid British Steel Ltd. and Tata Steel UK Ltd. to help the companies weather the ongoing economic crisis.

One major legacy of Johnson's premiership is that 'styling out' a scandal, no matter how egregious, in the hope that it will go away is now the default position for Tory government. The fact that Zahawi threatened to sue people for correct reporting should be career-ending.

Johnson makes yet another surprise visit to Ukraine.
His constituents wonder if he’ll ever make one to Uxbridge & South Ruislip.

PayPoint (LON:PAY) and Appreciate (LON:APP) - it’s farewell to Appreciate as a listed, standalone business as the shareholders of Appreciate vote to accept the proposed takeover. In the end, only 1 million shares (out of 186 million total outstanding shares) voted to reject the deal.

There are still some conditions to be satisfied but normally these are just a formality, after the FCA and shareholders have both supported the deal. The whole thing is expected to close by the end of March 2023.

I remain intrigued to see if PayPoint can wring some proper synergies out of this takeover. As I said last week, it strikes me as more of an opportunistic bid for a familiar company that had fallen out of favour in the stock market, rather than a truly synergy-driven deal. But we shall see. I do think it’s clever business by PayPoint and it increases the attractiveness of PayPoint shares as a value investment.

Same here :-((((
