The opposition who are refusing to call a general election are trying to force the PM to do something he has said he won't.
Even with an extension, what do they think they will get?
We are in the politics of vindictiveness, with the national good being side-lined. Very poor behaviour from the opposition parties.

They don't trust him to be true to his word, he said he wouldn't prorogue parliament and look what's happening there.

I think the wording was that he ""wasn't enamoured of the idea", which was a recognisably evasive way of not saying he wouldn't do it. If he was picked up on that, he would probably now say "I still don't like it, and I'm only doing it because it's necessary".

The second reason is much more political, forcing him to ask for an extension is a massive embarrassment to Boris that they believe would hurt him in a general election.

Regardless of the wording they don’t trust him and that’s part of their thinking process

I feel like your posting this as if I am making an argument when really I am just pointing out the view of the opposition I am not saying who I do or do not think is trustworthy.
