Apparently some in the security services are warning the Government not to clash with the USA elections in November to ensure we don't have a (if short) period of time where 2 of the 5 Eyes cohort is without effective leadership at time of global instability.
I don't imagine this will enter their thinking, they'll hold it at the moment when it best suits their party

So that could mean a May 2024 election (which the Tories really don't want) or them trying to push it back to the very last legal moment in January 2025 (albeit the election has to be called by 17th Dec 24).
