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

David Yelland and Simon Lewis discuss BP's corporate raiders, a viral attack on remote working by the JPMorgan CEO and if the Elon Musk baby drama will threaten his Trump bromance.

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?
