I don’t follow French politics but everything I see from there looks like much the same as here: an all-hands-to-the-pump effort to forcibly impose Sensible Moderate politics, by which I mean “extremely reactionary ideological neoliberal centrism”. Looks like it’s going as well there as it has here.

It’s kind of strange that DeGaulism gets totally vindicated right when it basically dies as a force in French politics.

Marine Le Pen is a Kremlin-friendly nationalist. A true vatnik in French politics.
She wants to stop financial aid to Ukraine and endanger European security. Macron is right: abandoning Ukraine serves Putin, not France.

Repeat after me:
1) PIP isn't an out of work benefit. It is a benefit paid to disabled people to pay for the extra costs of living with a disability.
2) Some PIP claimants work. Some PIP claimants will never able to work at all.
3) Impoverishing people doesn't get them closer to employment
