****Health warning: There is nothing happening this week in Parliament. Nothing. Feel free to read this section, but I would strongly advise against operating heavy machinery afterwards as this timetable may well cause drowsiness.****
Sunday - The family show I do with Comedy Club 4 Kids is playing in The Social tent at the Larmer Tree Festival at 1pm. If you're at the festival make sure you stop in and say hi!
Monday - Nothing really happening. A technical Bill about business rates that will make very little impact on most people's business rates.
Tuesday - Ummm... well.... yeah. Nothing. A bit of debate about body image and mental health, but with no motion or legislation around, people who need the help that only the government and Parliament can provide won't find their situation changes.
Of course, the big news today is that the winner (but, who could it be?) of the Conservative leadership contest will be announced at 11.30 / 12ish.
Wednesday - If you want a sign of the times, let me tell you this: Theresa May's team have been urging Conservative MPs to attend her final PMQs. As in, they think they might not have bothered otherwise. Sigh.
I can't even type the pointless goings-on in the Commons.
After that, it's a change of the PM at Buckingham Palace. Rumours that Theresa May is going down with Alice are unconfirmed.
"Do you think the Queen knows all about me?"
"Sure to, dear, but it's time for tea," Said Boris, the new Prime Minister
Thursday- Nothing happening. Unless we get a statement from the new PM, which would actually be exciting.
Friday - And that's your lot, Parliament fans. MPs and Baronesses and Lords and journalists and everyone else is off for the glorious British Summer. Of course, the new Prime Minister will be active. He'll want to get things in place and get his feet under the desk and Number 10. Also in the active column will be Simple Politics' social media, bringing you updates on whatsoever might be taking place. Do drop by if you've the inclination.
