It's his game of brinkmanship and he'll blame everyone but himself when it doesn't happen. After messing with the courts, he now knows that his privileges do not extend to ignoring the law of the United Kingdom.

If he is as popular as you believe then why not:
1) Request an extension to January 2020.
2) Call an election on a promise to leave and win that election.
3) Advise the EU that the UK is leaving.
Yes, wouldn't you just like that? This would mean the PM reneging on his promise to get us out by 31 October so the opposition can call him a liar again. He won't renege, and he will get us out when he said he would. As you will see in a month's time.

Also, any VONC must be put to the Speaker at least a day before to allow it to be put in the following day’s business, so there can’t be a "surprise" VONC
It would be called on the Tuesday in an effort to prevent Boris from making his speech, which the opposition know will be very damaging to them because it will make him very popular in the country.

The reason the Conservatives need to be there is to prevent Corbyn from forming a government. By declining to give him their support. Obviously.
