Hey team.

The political energy is firmly elsewhere as we enter the week.

The prime minister is considering his future and may set out a timetable for his departure, as Andy Burnham takes his seat in Westminster.

Against that backdrop, MPs debate just one piece of legislation.

On Monday, they look at a bill to extend the legal framework underpinning the Armed Forces, which needs to happen every five years.

And Tuesday is the first Opposition Day of this parliamentary session.

The Tories will choose the topic of debate. It hasn't been announced yet, but it feels likely it may relate to Labour's leadership challenges.

Until next week. In the meantime, feel free to tweet me, or just reply to this email.
