- France’s New New New New New Prime Minister
Marlon & Olly introduce Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu, who you might know as Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu. He’s Macron’s longest serving minister, and a loyalist. Now he’s got the top job, but how long will he be able to keep it? We go over Lecornu’s Monet connection, what’s in his bank accounts, and his LR past and positions on gay marriage. All that and more on today’s edition of Flep24.

7 min - Bayrou's last stand?
The audio on this one isn't brilliant but it is listenable - we'll have it sorted next time. Olly wasn't using any mic and then he messed up some of the audacity settings when editing.
We talked about the upcoming vote of no confidence in Francois Bayrou's government, the movement of 10th of September (which Olly inexplicably called the 10th of December) and the ongoing debt saga.

49 min - Two Elections on the Right to Come
Marlon takes a solo look at who might support a Bruno Retailleau run for president in 2027. He’s flying high in the polls and in the regard of French billionaires who also want Le Pen to win.
And a quick look at the 2026 Paris election. The Socialists still have a good position, but they’re facing serious challenges from the radical left, and from Rachida Dati, the conservative LR Culture Minister who’s a long time opponent of the city’s current mayor, Anne Hidalgo.
All that and more on this edition of Flep24/7!

6 min - Weapons Sale at the Salon du Bourget
Marlon and Olly go over the Salon du Bourget, a glitzy airshow to the Northeast of Paris where weapons companies show off their latest deadly hardware. We take a look at some of the new weapons systems, France’s military production goals, as well as Ursula von der Leyen’s justifications for dispensing with democracy as Europe rearms to the tune of nearly a trillion euros.We also take a brief look at the eight Israeli companies at the show, and the French government’s incoherent attitude to the country, its companies, its war and genocide.
