I suspect broadcasters are increasingly planning for a snap general election sooner rather than later if the fall out over the next few days gets as messy as I suspect it might.

Doubt it, if anything Johnson resigning makes Sunak's position more secure as he was pretty much the only 'viable' challenger for the leadership. Even if there is any big fallout, very unlikely for it to make it politically necessary for an early election - especially as the government's sole remaining hope is a clear economic recovery in the next year-and-a-bit.

As Stuart says, this is pretty much a classic 'run out the clock' parliament - Autumn 2024 overwhelmingly the most likely date and, from what I understand, what CCHQ are planning for.
