I'm not actually sure what lessons we in the US can learn from the French elections: completely different systems, completely different electoral calculations. Except for the obvious... unity in resisting fascism is everyone's responsibility.

It seems a little bit on the nose that just before a highly consequential French election, a priest discovers that someone has stolen a mythical medieval sword from where it's embedded in a cliff—but then, the 2020s ain't subtle (N.B.: This is as much Roland's sword as my butter knife is Excalibur.)

Any idea on what basis Iain Martin thinks Starmer is Britain's most inherently left-wing PM ever? Because I haven't got the faintest clue what he's on about.
