Donald Tusk will recommend the EU accepts the UK's request for an extension until January 31st.
One overlooked thing here is the EU are probably happy with where they are now. They did one deal and then did another one, each time extending the deadline when requested. If we crash out there will be few people blaming them for it. They'll probably sit back, accept extension requests until such a time we finally do something.

Remember the Liberal Democrats and the SNP also stopped an election and they stood to gain from one. There was genuine concern about Boris Johnson using the election to push though No Deal in the absence of a Parliament. As soon as the extension is confirmed those two parties will likely go for an election (although the Libs will likely try a referendum first).
