France is facing further political chaos after the country’s latest prime minister, Sébastien Lecornu, resigned after just 26 days in the role.

Lecornu quit a day after unveiling his cabinet, which was largely unchanged from Bayrou’s and was fiercely criticised across the board by parties in the National Assembly, who threatened to vote it down.
