French parliament votes to oust prime minister Francois Bayrou, deepening political crisis

He must now tender his resignation, leaving Macron to face a narrowing set of options, with financial markets signalling worry at France's political and fiscal crisis. Bayrou had called the vote unexpectedly to try to win parliamentary support for his strategy to lower a deficit that stands at nearly double the European Union's 3pc ceiling and to start tackling a debt pile equivalent to 114pc of GDP.
