French prime minister Francois Bayrou has warned the country’s parliament not to copy Britain’s economic chaos, as he battled to save his premiership. Mr Bayrou launched the last-minute plea as he faced a losing battle to prevent being ousted in a vote of no confidence.
The result, which is expected in the coming hours, could mean yet another snap election, with the hard-Right National Front threatening a political earthquake. In his likely final speech as prime minister, Mr Bayrou warned legislators not to copy Britain’s disastrous economic failures, causing embarrassment for Rachel Reeves. He warned that the government needs to make cuts to balance the books, as France faces similar pressures to the UK.
