BMW seeks meeting with Rachel Reeves over finance scandal bill The carmaker, which faces a potential hit of over £200m from the mis-selling controversy, wants to discuss the implications of an industrywide redress programme

Executives at BMW want to meet the chancellor about the car loans scandal.

Car companies resent paying compensation.

Auto companies lied about diesel emissions, resent paying victims.

Simple advice to capitalists - don't lie and cheat to boost profits, exec pay, dividends.

21st century Britain

Minneapolis police say more than a dozen hurt in homeless encampment shootings Police chief says ‘here we are again in the aftermath of a mass shooting’ after incidents in two separate locations

It's the Left that needs to tone down the rhetoric lest they cause real-world violence, you see.

*Unless it is Cameron being replaced by May, May being replaced by Johnson, Johnson being replaced by Truss, or Truss being replaced by Sunak.

It is only if Starmer goes.

Absolute. Charlton. Hypocrite. Imbecile.

There is literally no Western politician alive that I can think of that has incited more hate, bigotry, and violence than Donald Trump.

That so many in our public life, in our 'liberal' media, have just memory-holed 10 years of nonstop incitement and abuse from him is shameful.

I agree about corrupt FFP. Leicester should not have been in any position to win the league but they were let off by the FA for charges that would see a club relegated now

I suspect we tried as long as we could to get Liverpool to budge on value. but they held all the cards.

We’ve had that before under Steve Coppell. We finished third. UEFA screwed is over and the team fell apart. Sound familiar?

We can still pull the deal.

Remember what happened at Leicester after they won the league. This is,sadly, what happens to middle ranking clubs

Sadly our stature is not what we think it is. Goldberg and Jordan gambled and we know how that played out.

£15 million if you win it. suspect revenue neutral at best before that, with travel factored in it could be a loss.

Ultimately we had to sell Mark otherwise we are looking at a £60-70 million loss - no £35 million fee and we would still have to spend £25million plus on a replacement next summer

Replacements all but done otherwise sale would not have been sanctioned. I agree the fee is lower, much lower than we should get, but inevitably it was that or nothing. Head has to rule heart , otherwise we go down the Goldberg route.

Be prepared for this when Wharton goes.

Sadly clubs like Palace simply cannot turn down these fees when they come for a top 4 European club. We all knew this was going to happen, and Marc gave us the best year ever.

Spurs cost over £1billion
Everton cost in excess of £800millioj
Where would the money come from??

Palace fan in peace. A good vlog, with a fair summary of the game.

Great energy from your fans to match our own and good banter.

Don’t get too fond of Nuno though….

Villa right now are perceived as a bigger club with more regular European football. Nothing more.

Midfielders called Hughes. Tough as nails and can pass too.
