France has been plunged into a fresh political crisis, with MPs voting to oust the prime minister. 

The BBC reports Francois Bayrou called the surprise vote of confidence on himself after huge opposition to his budget plans. 

France's National Assembly voted by 364 votes to 194 to eject him from office, and bring down his minority government.  

President Emmanuel Macron now faces a choice between calling a snap election or picking a fifth prime minister in less than two years. 

France Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking that part of the problem was Bayrou’s attitude. 

She says he seemed to antagonise everyone he spoke to, and he didn’t try to negotiate or seek coalitions.
