The Germans are very keen to merge with the LSE.

Hasn't that been the case since the mid-90s? Deutsche Bourse has been after the LSE for yonks. At least two bids were put in.

Looks to be going ahead - and Headquartered in London which is another reason unhampered trade will likely continue;


Deutsche Boerse is the larger company but the combination has been carefully set up as a merger rather than a takeover. The decision to place the headquarters in London was part of that arrangement.


But it is unpopular with German politicians and regulators who fear a loss of influence (they favour Frankfurt)

Quite so and news today suggests that Germans still want an HQ move to Frankfurt.
However:

LSE Chief Executive Xavier Rolet recently insisted that "the deal is set".

Also today, courts approve an immigration income test for those who want to bring their non-European spouses to the UK.

"The fact that a rule causes hardship to many, including some who are in no way to blame for the situation in which they now find themselves, does not mean that it is incompatible with the Convention rights or otherwise unlawful at common law," the court said.
The income threshold, it added, was "part of an overall strategy aimed at reducing net migration," with aims that were "no doubt entirely legitimate."

Is this what may be described as "laying the foundations"?

Denying British citizens a right to live in the UK with their spouse is completely morally wrong IMO, as I said on a very similar case several years ago.

The ability to financially support your spouse seems reasonable enough. Particularly in these challenging times.
