Episode notes
The Trike makes a brief detour this week, over to mainland Europe where EU elections have rocked the continent. A strong showing from the far and hard right has led President Macron to call a snap election in France. So what's really going on in Europe? To discuss this, the podcast is joined by Zselyke Csaky from the Centre for European Reform, who guides Emily Tamkin, Tom Hamilton and Rohan Venkat through the currents of a continent. Oh, and there's also some discussion of Rishi Sunak bailing on D-Day commemorations.
