France’s Marine Le Pen walked out of a Parisian courtroom after being found guilty of embezzling EU funds.

Adam is joined by Katya Adler and Marion Soletty, Politico’s Editor-At-Large in France to unpack Le Pen’s first interview after the verdict in which she called the ruling a "political decision" and says she will appeal. They discuss the dramatic day in court, and what the National Rally party might do next.

And Chris has been talking to the UK Prime Minister about the Netflix drama Adolescence, after Keir Starmer hosted a roundtable at Downing Street with the show’s creators.
