When It Hits the Fan - BP’s PR battle, Jamie Dimon’s rant, and two men and a baby

Download BP’s PR battle, Jamie Dimon’s rant, and two men and a baby

David Yelland and Simon Lewis look at the £75billion PR battle currently waging between BP - one of the UK's biggest companies - and American activist investors who say it’s too weak and too woke.

Also, the world’s top banker is caught ranting about work-from-home GenZers. Is it good PR or bad PR?

And will the claim from conservative influencer Ashley St Clair that Elon Musk is the father of her baby derail his White House bromance with President Donald Trump? Do such 'scandals' matter in the US any more?
