Next sitting Friday is a term used in British politics to denote the next Friday during which the House of Commons "sits" - that is, hold debates and meetings. The term was needed as the House of Commons does not "sit" every Friday.

The bloody flesh our only food:
In spite of which we like to think
That we are sound, substantial flesh and blood—
Again, in spite of that, we call this Friday good.”
