French election chaos, Rachel Reeves orders finances review and Nigel Farage, MP | The Daily T

In a shock result, the second round of French elections delivered a victory of sorts to the left-wing New Popular Front alliance, pushing Marine le Pen’s National Rally into third place behind the centrists. But with no group winning a majority in parliament, President Emmanual Macron now faces some difficult choices.

To discuss what it means for France, Europe and the UK’s fledgling government, Kamal and Camilla are joined in the studio by French journalist Charlotte Kan and The Telegraph’s resident Parisian Adelie Pojzman-Pontay.

Plus, how has Prime Minister Keir Starmer fared in his first few days in government? The new Cabinet is off to a flying start, but Kamal and Camilla notice a familiar name that keeps cropping up: Tony Blair. We also have a dispatch from Nigel Farage’s victory tour around his new constituency of Clacton.
