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.

How France deals with Islam is the real question but they are too afraid to even mention it.

[johnhynes]

Why are European democracies not allowed or denied their right to remain who they are is Indian, China is Chinese, Japan is Japanese but heaven for bid a European country who allows and facilities people from other countries who they have welcomed and at the same time not wishing to lose their sense of who they are its a complete joke.

[stevewalden]

Kamal: "without immigration they'd be no growth' Maybe once that was true, when we had people more of our Christian culture. I don't care about growth if it means those coming don't give a tuppenny toss about our culture, our traditions, our cultural holidays our values and our way of life.

The “far far far left” should stop calling the right “far right”

[johnhynes]

God I can't watch anymore "4 days of labour" and the commentator "I love it" so much for independent analytical journalism.

[edmend]

Ha. Labour have to put up now. Watch farage laugh all the way to the next elections.

[luisellamanesco]

NIGEL..FARAGE. IS. ONE. VERY. GOOD. AND. VERY. VERY. GOOD. MAN. OF. UK. PEOPLE. 😊😊😊😊

[watercolours]

Le pen isn't hard right or even right wing

[superelectic]

Funny how we always appear to have a far right wing but never a far left wing, it's always just 'left'

[trevorscrivens]

When most politicians talk all I hear is "bla bla bla bla "

[thomaslahay]

I’m so sick and tired of people tossing about the far right this the far right that. It’s a very inaccurate labeling
of people grouping any one with mild or moderate conservative beliefs in with far right anarchism. Just because people want to hold on to their culture and history and be patriotic doesn’t mean they are far right extremists. Seems to me they the far right has cause and reasons to become violent but they haven’t it’s the far left extremists who have exhibited violence against not only Jewish people but British white Anglo-Saxon
people let’s start talking about that more often instead of kowtowing to the far left extemists and terrorists supporters. Get a bloody clue!!!

[RobertLeighJames]

Why hard left not far left? Noticing this more and more. It's always one way when it's about the word far.

[dkdhdnm]

"culture of conflict" in France, spot on!!

[Sahil-Exm]

People of France will read a book 50 years down the line that “THERE WAS A FRANCE” in their new country “ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF FRANCE”….

France - Your days are over.
La Ila ilililaah… 😂😂😂😂

[roytaylor]

Is Britain REALLY in for five years of stable government? The cracks are appearing already.

[tinapreston]

THEY ARE NOT THE " FAR RIGHT"!!! THEY ARE JUST RIGHT!!!

[PeterSYMONS-ltql]

It might be six reform MPs one coming from Northern Ireland

[ongwdrp]

Nigel Farage is The only Hope The UK Has Left#.

[gjnouhj]

[luisellamanesco]
