The general case is that no approval is needed in the UK to sell a company to anyone. This is a "free country". This was especially a reply to the implied suggestion that there was some sort of political approval process.

The EU’s competition review will likely apply due to DoorDash’s Wolt subsidiary. The criteria is outlined here: https://competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/mergers/procedures_e...

I doubt the EU is going to block it since AFAIk they’re not competing in any country directly against each other.
