She is attending the NATO summit in Brussels along with world leaders including Donald Trump and Angela Merkel, so Cabinet Office Minister David Lidington and Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry are standing in.

But that will not stop it being a fiery PMQs session, following huge Brexit developments this week following the presentation of Mrs May’s new plan to exit the bloc on Friday.
