Sondage Odoxa, 2e tour de l’élection présidentielle.
Bardella gagnerait avec 53% des voix face à Philippe, avec 56% face à Attal, avec 58% face à Glucksmann et avec 74% face à Mélenchon.
Banalisation du vote Bardella et front anti-Mélenchon au 2e tour.

Nicolas Sarkozy spent 20 days in jail. He was very quickly released because he is… Sarkozy. But this was enough time to write a book about his carceral experience and commercialise it.

Phoenix Cinema, East Finchley. An ‘old-fashioned’ cinema as I like them. The seats are comfortable and the films on show are excellent (lots of old European films). It was built in 1910 and it is the oldest purpose-built cinema in the UK.

Je reproduis un texte d’Arthur Denouveaux, le président de l’association des victimes des attentats terroristes islamistes du 13 novembre 2015. Il est rare en pareille occasion d’exprimer les mots justes. Il y parvient, à l’écart de la récupération politicienne de tout bord ou de l’emphase déplacée.

Il est universitaire et ministre de l’Enseignement supérieur. Cette déclaration est la négation totale de l’éthique de la responsabilité chère à Max Weber. C’est un affront à la vérité et à la liberté académique. Cela contribue à affaisser nos repères intellectuels et moraux. On va à la catastrophe.

La RP néerlandaise aboutit à une fragmentation extrême et une absence de majorité claire. Ce système ne peut fonctionner que dans un pays doté d’institutions sociales de concertation reposant sur le compromis. La France est aux antipodes de ce système et l’introduction de la RP ne résoudrait rien.

I just ran the Frankfurt marathon in 03:06 despite a strong wind blowing on the runners’ face during the race. It was my first marathon in 4 years because of a persistent Achilles injury. I enjoyed the iconic finish on the red carpet inside the Festhalle at Messe #Frankfurt. Cool and fun! 🇩🇪

Labour vote collapsed in one of its historic bastions in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. The left seems happy that Reform’s candidate got defeated thanks to tactical voting. I find the result very worrying: Reform did well and had the biggest increase in votes. It could win next time round. The situation reminds me of France:

At the Barbican tonight to watch ‘I was a Teenage Sex Pistol’, a great documentary which tells the story of the punk band from the perspective of Glen Matlock (in attendance). Matlock was the ‘musical Pistol’ who got kicked out of the band and replaced with Sid Vicious who could not play the bass.

I was at the Emirates this afternoon to watch Arsenal vs. Brighton in the Women’s Super League. One-nil to the Arsenal, of course. 👍

The French Prime Minister resigned on Monday, was reappointed on Friday and is threatening to resign again on Saturday. This is Guinness Book of Records stuff.

Par rapport à 2024:
Le RN confirme sa large domination (33-34%).
Le bloc macroniste recule nettement (14-16%).
LR remontent un peu (12-13%).
Reconquête en hausse (5-6%).
Le NFP, le meilleur scénario, mais il mais baisse par rapport à 2024 (-4%). Le PS confirme qu’il est le premier parti à gauche.

Si Jean-Luc Mélenchon se qualifiait au deuxième tour de l’élection présidentielle, il serait nettement battu par le candidat RN.
1) Les reports de voix à gauche sur JLM sont très mauvais.
2) Les reports de voix sur Bardella sont bons.
Aucune chance. Pourquoi donc va-t-il se présenter?

That’s exactly that.

A Majority of supporters in all German parties considers that Israel is committing a genocide in #Gaza.

Éric Zemmour est intervenu à Londres à la fin de la marche organisée par le néofasciste Tommy Robinson, plusieurs fois condamné à des peines de prison pour violence et racisme. Il a parlé du « grand remplacement » et de la colonisation des « peuples européens ». Qu’en disent les médias français?

What’s the difference between Brazil and the US?
In Brazil, if you plot a coup you go to jail.
In the US, if you plot a coup you get re-elected president. 🇧🇷 🇺🇸

Another major political and moral mistake by Keir Starmer who is set to host Isaac Herzog, the Israeli president, at Downing Street today.

Voting intentions in case of a new dissolution. Not good at all for Macron's bloc (and former majority) down on 14%. 11/

So, as expected PM François Bayrou emphatically lost the confidence vote in the National Assembly. What happens next? A few hypotheses. 1/
September 8, 2025 at 8:55 PM
The reason why Macron will not call a snap election soon if the Bayrou gets censured: his centre right coalition is in a very bad place.
The left bloc is not in great shape either. 👇
