I think the election result is really up in the air. In terms of seats it's easier to see where the Tories lose seats (Scotland, Lib/Tory marginals) but it's not clear where they win them. They're betting the house on large swings from Labour Brexiters but if they've miscalculated that then....

Sensible analysis. The Conservatives have inflicted damage on themselves with the expulsions, they are weakened in the geographies you have described with Scotland being self-inflicted and Corbyn has played the whole Brexit shall I/shan't I game effectively.

In normal times the AG would resign ... Sending Mr Mogg to Balmoral to mislead the Queen is not the done thing ..

I would have thought it higher but people are voting along political not legal limes.

Much like 29th March there absolutely zero chance of now leaving on 31st October.

Zero chance of the EU granting an extention to A50.

That’s the only certainty at the moment.

We can’t hold an election where BJ will be PM (if he wins) before the 31st October, even if he calls one* tomorrow or Thursday, as a general election would need to follow a strict timetable specified in law - Parliament has to be dissolved at least 25 working days before polling day, and by tradition, polling day is on a Thursday.
If he picked Thursday October 31 for polling day (27 working days from now), dissolution would need to take place on Thursday September 26th (but the results wouldn’t be available until the 1st of October).
So, for BJ to call* and win an election so he would still be leader by 31st October, Parliament would need to be dissolved tomorrow.
* which he can’t
