Plus there's the UK Budget mid-month.
All big UK political stories, but of little relevance to global audiences.
But things like Johnson giving evidence to the Privileges Committee are known about in advance, so I imagine they'll be able to divert some resources to opt-out. Budget day, again, they'll presumably take the network coverage from Millbank as per usual (maybe staying on longer on the NC). It'll be any unplanned breaking news of UK only relevance that'll be the real issue for the next month.
