For what it’s worth from a party unity perspective it would be better if he went now, the closer it gets to the election the more damage it does to the party when he neverably does leave. He should only stay if they are confident he can make it through to the election. It’s no chance of that happening.
If he gets replaced then there is quite a lot of time still before the next election for his successor to fix things. If they wait until 18 months before the election there won’t be.
