There is another scenario in that The Telegraph is pushing for a members' revolt that demands that Johnson's resignation is put before them so they can vote not to accept.

I'm an avid Torygraph reader and the relevant article (maybe paywalled https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics...-tory-members/ ) is a straightforward piece of reporting. The Torygraph is not "pushing for a members' revolt".

Indeed the opposite is true with this piece of editorial:

This Conservative Government set out to improve life, employment and services in areas that had suffered neglect. But despite the Prime Minister’s claim this week that his mission was “largely accomplished”, the reality is that – as the former Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Michael Gove, has pointed out – instead of the broken being fixed, once reliable “core functions” of government are now breaking too.
