Marlon & Olly reunite for a duo episode, the first one in awhile, and discuss Olympic news, the latest updates from the National Assembly commissions, and polemics around athletes being allowed to compete in the Olympics under their national flags or not.

They also discuss the potential new Prime Minister's podcast, and take a diversion into Japanese politics, believe it or not.

Marlon looks at the new joint New Popular Front candidate for Prime Minister, Lucie Castets. She's a long time civil servant with a public profile of advocating for public services and close links to the Socialist Party.

Everybody in the New Popular Front is publicly in favor of her being the one - but Macron's already saying that he still needs a majority and won't be appointing anybody new until after the Olympics.

Don't get too attached!
