The FT story puts a new twist on the leadership struggle at the BP top. It is not Carl-Henric Svanberg, the chairman of the board, who is the executive favorite. It is Tony Hayward who was pilloried in America for giving the back-of-his-hand to a congressional committee but has reaped the rewards in Britain of Svanberg's hauteu r. In any case, nothing has changed in the Gulf Of Mexico. Nothing. The oil is still gushing and the garbage still spreading. As of July 2, it does not look like a good 4th of July, not even in Florida. The legal dockets on all kinds of claims fill by the day.
