It was an utterly stupid idea of Macron's to call an election knowing how unpopular he is in rural France.

She could ruled out from running if a ruling goes against her in March

Starmer will most likely put her in the Cabinet if she does

Wasn't there some thinking he did it knowing the likely implications, I.e. ending in tears?

Don’t get this comment, is it satire?

Worryingly for NATO, the three biggest players are the USA, the UK and France. If Orange Blobby really does take his toys home due to European nations not contributing enough, and an unstable France steps back from supporting Ukraine as much as it has, then the UKs armed forces could be the second biggest target on Putins hit list.

The French don’t do compromise. I worked for a French boss, he always sarcastically stated that the English always compromise. Well we might but at least we move forward without being bogged down in intransigent idealism. Off to the barricades mes braves!

At least they can build some half decent railways though.

To me, this is a dangerous moment rather than a chance for poking fun across the channel.

The racist right poised to gain influence in (another) key strategic ally is nothing but a bad news day

It seemed foolish of Macron to appoint Barnier as PM, when the left wing coalition had the largest share of seats in the election he called but what do I know.

Allez France!
