Numbers of messages sent

Please could someone run a query to see:

How many messages were sent during the week 1-7 Jun 2020
How this compares with the same week in 2019, and/or an average week.
How many messages were sent in the week 17-23 May (our previous peak in page views)
If possible, how many messages were sent 31 Oct - 6 Nov 2016 (also a peak) Thanks!

Additionally from @markcridge : can we break it down by type of representative please?

Chart gives broad picture of this very big peak. Tab 3 lets you sort by week and type to see biggest over all time.

Week 23 (1-7 June) was the highest ever week. 21,604 messages were sent to MPs. The second highest is the week before.
- Week 21 (may dates) - fourth highest ever, 11,756.
An average week in 2019 (including an election) was 1,672.
Week 44 2016 (31 oct to 6 nov) was 4,317 (week 45 was about 10,000 though)
