Le Pen: Another victory for Putin? – Start Your Week with Gavin Esler

As the far right’s Marine Le Pen runs off against Macron, could France fall to extreme populism? Plus the briefing war against Sunak, Johnson’s photo op visit to Kyiv and Russia resets its war aims. Gavin Esler sets up the week ahead with Andrew Harrison. 

• “A Le Pen presidency in France would be another victory for Putin.” 
• “The real scandal in British politics is not what is illegal, it’s what is allowed.”
• “It is possible that Le Pen could win if the French decide, like America did, that they just want a bit of entertainment.”
