It really isn’t. The Commons is on its Whitsun recess at the moment, the summer recess happens from late July to early September and conference season recess is from mid September until early October. There are far fewer sitting days than you might think, and in any case I would be surprised if those Tory backbenchers who previously helped parliament take over its own timetable will be so ready to do so against the authority of a newly elected leader.
