Emmanuel Macron has seen his seventh Prime Minister dismissed as Francois Bayrou lost his confidence vote in the National Assembly.

France's National Assembly voted 364 to 194 to remove him from office and bring down his minority Government. Another 25 MPs abstained.

Mr Bayrou will now need to tender his resignation, where he will present Mr Macron with his resignation tomorrow morning.

Earlier today, Mr Bayrou called for unity as he attempted to win support for both his premiership and his plan to reduce France's public spending.

Pausing for sips of water as hecklers bellowed down at him, Mr Bayrou said: "Our country works, thinks it's getting richer, but keeps getting poorer."

He initially proposed cutting a staggering €44billion (£38.1billion) in spending in 2026.

His plan was heavily criticised by political rivals, with it including the removal of two public holidays.
