They are desperately trying to push him to resign which means ... Boris must have been plotting an early October general election, announcing just after recess which starts in 2 weeks -

Has the "Dissolution and Calling of Parliament" bill received royal assent now?
In which case, it's purely down to Boris to choose when the GE occurs (or technically, the PM to advise / request the Queen on when to dissolve parliament).

X : Do you think Boris should resign and when?
Me : Yes and 2019. That way we might have had a decent PM with integrity and benevolence at heart.
X : Sunak?
Me : Corbyn. We really messed up there. 2019 was a good year for dumb choices.
