Olly talks about two stories, one in which the media tries to signal the return of Anne Hidalgo and one in which lobbyists lament the presence of La France Insoumise, who are unlobbyable!

Marlon takes a solo look at a new interview with Agnès Pannier-Runacher, who's on the left of the Macron grouping. She says there needs to be a coalition government which excludes LFI and RN, and that France is not a right wing country.

Plus, did Paris get rid of crime during the Olympic games?

Also - what to do with phone numbers? I want your answers and feedback on this.

Olly discusses some articles on the strange stasis French politics has entered into in which Macron is still governing as he always has, but no one really knows if this is actually a legitimate thing to be doing.

Marlon and Olly interview Charles Devellennes, who's the Senior Lecturer in Political and Social Thought at the University of Kent.

Charles tells the about Macron's literary style, the unpublished novels Macron wrote, and the enduring effect Milan Kundera's "Jacques et son maître" had on young Emmanuel.

Charles also tells us about the own trajectory his interest in philosophy took him on down the path of political science, which culminated in his 2022 book The Macron Régime: The Ideology of the New Right in France.

We talk about that book, and about security, merit, and hope.

There's also speculation about the state of the left in France today and tomorrow, and a look at the right in France of yesterday and the future.
