possible date

Talk of a possible Election dates first appeared in October 2023 when it was suggest 31st October 2024 was being consider.[1][2] On 4 January, Sunak first suggested the general election would probably be in the second half of 2024.[3] and within a few days former chancellor George Osborne stated on his Political Currency podcast that the most likeliest date was 14 November 2024, Stating "Sunak’s team were working towards the date in mid-November as the target for an election" and he could annouce it in his Key note speech at the Conservative Party Conference. Osborne said “logic leads you there because you’re not going to have it in the first half of the year. I mean, this pretence that Rishi Sunak could have a May election was something we discussed last year. It’s a non-starter. He’s more than 20 points behind in the opinion polls. He’s not going to have a spring election. He added: “So then you’re left with the autumn. And you’re probably thinking: ‘I know, we’ll have the party conference as a kind of launch pad. We’ll fit in an autumn statement, like a mini-budget, either before that or immediately after it.’ And that kind of leads you into mid-November. So 14 November kind of writes itself.”[4][5]

Sir John Curtice Also believed the 14 November date was the most likest date [6]

Universities and students' unions have warned that an autumn general election in 2024 may not give students enough time to register to vote after moving to their university accommodation at the start of the autumn term, potentially disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of students.[7] This would likely benefit the incumbent Conservative Party, as research from the 2019 general election has shown that younger people are much more likely to vote for the Labour Party than older people, and seats with large proportions of students are younger than average.[8] Whitehall officials also discouraged the election being held around 5 November 2024, to prevent clashing with the 2024 United States presidential election, for major security and market implications could result if two Five Eyes countries were to hold general elections at the same time. The last time elections in the two countries overlapped was in 1964, when the elections were held less than three weeks before the United States presidential election that year.[9][10]

Wide spread speculation believed he would call an election to co-inside with the local elections on 2 May[11] [12][13][14] On 14th March he confirmed that it would not be held on the same day as the local election on 2 May.[15]

Over the following six weeks before the May local elections, a number of political commentators made statements that an election would be called for June or July, due to continuing issues around Sunak's authority.[16][17][18]However, a June election was seen as less likely following the elections, with many with the conservative party believe Sunak needs to own the loses and take them into the General Election..[19][20][21][22]

Over the course of next 3 week speculation continued to suggest Sunak will have to called an Summer election dispite Tory Mp believing November date being the most probley date[23] On 22 May 2024, after much speculation through the day,[24][25][26] Sunak confirmed the election would be held on 4 July.[27]

The Kenny Everett Television Show is a British television comedy and music programme made by the BBC for BBC 1 from 1981 to 1987.

History

From 1978 to 1981, Everett had made three series of The Kenny Everett Video Show and one series of The Kenny Everett Video Cassette for Thames Television. Everett fell out with Thames regarding the management of his show, including the scheduling against the BBC's top-rated Top of the Pops on Thursday evenings. The BBC offered him a live-audience sketch-format comedy programme, starting with a Christmas special on BBC1 in 1981, followed by five primetime series. The writing team was bolstered by the addition of Andrew Marshall, David Renwick and Neil Shand and the production standards were raised by the heavier investment from the Corporation.

Thames Television claimed copyright on Everett's characters and tried to prevent their use by the BBC. Whilst this action failed, it led to the creation of new characters such as Gizzard Puke (intended to replace Sid Snot) and the spooneristically named Cupid Stunt,[34] a blonde American B-film actress with pneumatic breasts, and played with no attempt to disguise Everett's beard, who told a cardboard cutout of Michael Parkinson (and later Terry Wogan) lurid tales of life on set with Burt Reynolds and other male stars of the era. Her original name, Mary Hinge, was vetoed by the Corporation as too obvious and announcers were encouraged to refer to her as Cupid to prevent mispronunciation. Her final action in each sketch was to uncross her legs then swing them wildly to recross them (brazenly giving viewers an eyeful of her racy red lingerie) as she uttered the catchphrase "It's all done in the best possible taste!" Inept TV handyman Reg Prescott became another firm viewers' favourite, as each week he managed graphically and bloodily to injure himself with tools whilst attempting to demonstrate DIY tips.[35]

Friendship with Kenny Everett

Freddie Mercury and Kenny Everett became close friends over the years they knew each other. First meeting in 1974, Kenny had invited Freddie on to his breakfast show on Capital FM; the pair hit it off instantly.[1] During the 1970s, their friendship became closer, with Everett becoming advisor and mentor to Mercury - and Mercury as Everett's confidante, helping Kenny to accept his sexuality. Throughout the early-mid 80s, the pair continued to explore their homosexuality - in addition to drugs - and while the pair were never lovers, they did experience London night life on a regular basis together. During this time Kenny and Freddie became involved with Nicolai Grishanovitch and a Spanish waiter named Pepe Flores. By 1985, the pair had also fallen out over a disagreement on their using and sharing of drugs. During 1988, Audrey Lee "Lady Lee" Middleton completed her autobiography, with the foreword from Kenny. Unusually, shortly after its publication and newspaper serialisation, Kenny denounced the book for outing him. The fallout resulted in the pair only speaking via lawyer, with their friends - including Freddie - choosing to support Lee. source]] Kenny and Freddie started talking again in 1989, with their failing health. Their closeness was not on the same level as years previous, but they were able to reconcile their differences.[2]

FOX kids

In January 2004, Fox Kids Europe, Fox Kids Latin America and ABC Cable Networks Group agreed to rename[1] its then current operations under a single umbralla name Jetix. The Jetix name helped strengthen its operations which allowed a single force to cover its programming blocks aired on which aired on ABC Family and Toon Disney, its Television channels in Europe and Latin America, its programme library and merchandising.[2][3]

The Jetix name was chosen after the company conducted international research specifically with a number of children focus groups. Many of the children picked the name as it implied action and adventure, and the company was able to use the name internationally due to its ambiguity. Anne Sweeney, president of the ABC Cable Networks Group and Disney Channel Worldwide said Jetix was a strategic, ad-supported complement to Disney-branded television around the world, which allowed it to be among the most widely distributed television brands for kids around the world. Bruce Steinberg, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Fox Kids Europe, said it helped strengthen Fox Kids Europe's partnership with Disney while building new alliances to continue to successfully leverage its programming library and distribution, plus improving its and online and interactive businesses.[4][5][6][7]

The rebrand also allowed its Fox kids operations to be redirected, towards a more young male orinated channel which focused on the action-adventure programmes.[8]
