My point is that, by convention, the PM could refuse to quit after a successful VONC *and* after a "government of national unity" (aka whiny remoaner partisan gov't of national disunity ) has shown confidence with an EDM or similar. The PM could simply say, "screw you, the election is on 1 Nov, after we've left". Until the gov't of disunity is actually in power, it's powerless, and Boris (and ultimately HM) remain in control of that process.
Of course, Remoaners could attempt to involve HM at that point by "writing letters", but that is unlikely to succeed
The only reliable thing these remoaners can do, IMO, is to legislate by, for example, obtaining control of the order paper via SO24 and then changing the FTPA. But that would need to get through the Lords too; they probably wouldn't have time, and the gov't can appoint Lords at will to block/frustrate. Also, it would nicely play into the subsequent election campaign.Comment

One more scenario
Johnson refuses to quit after no confidence.
Corbyn declares himself prime minister and the EU accepts that he is the new prime minister and they agree to extend the departure date until after an election.
