They will vote this evening on whether to seize control of the parliamentary agenda from the government
If they win, Tory rebels and other parties could then introduce a law to force a Brexit extension. In theory that would stop us leaving without a deal at the end of October

If the opposition supports him in seeking an election, it would take place on October the 14th. #Brexit
