The long break

It has just been announced that Parliament will rise on 25th July and not sit again until 3rd September.

Just as well there isn't a pressing matter that needs to be sorted out.

The 24th is due to the May's last day as PM, so unclear whether the new leader will attend the House before the recess, thus delaying a possible no confidence vote until their return.

Don't waste this time, the EU said.

Time has been very much wasted, as predicted.
