Melenchon makes a surprising offer to the Macronists - why did he do this?
The ranks of La France Insoumise continue to grow, and without the dissidents, the party remains more convinced than ever of its strategic orientation.
Meanwhile the Greens have their congress with new arrivals in their ranks.

In dribs and drabs the Socialist Party is signalling - sometimes openly - that they want to break with LFI and govern with Macron. Will they take the plunge?
Over in the presidential camp, Élisabeth Borne announces that she's running to lead Macron's party, Renaissance. But there are whispers that Gabriel Attal wants the post as well. A bloc is forming to block his ambitions.
And Renaissance deputies are trying to strip LFI Eurodeputy Rima Hassan of her parliamentary immunity after appearing at a protest in Jordan against Israel's genocide in Palestine that they say was "pro-Hamas."
