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.

PPE Medpro will almost certainly go into administration and Mone will repay almost none of the £122m she stole from the NHS. But she'll keep the superyacht and the private jet she scammed from the public purse.
