Macron and Sunak have a lot in common - including platform shoes.

Macron could always try listening to the people.

2024, the year of a big political shake up.

Macron is really weird.

Still better than British politics š

This really is the year of elections. India, Britain, France, the USA, the EU, South Africa, Indonesia, Russia (although obviously that was a sham).

Vote reform

No way did Ćric Ciotti go full Alan Partridge.

French Revolution 2.0

Macron gives enemies a taste of lightning warfare š

I'm french, and this is so good to watch british far right cry because of the future victory of the Labour lol. And don't expect much of Bardella, he didn't won against the Left! The Popular Front is coming once again babe

Well its not the presidential election, until 2027.

Luckily everything is calm here.
