Most likely: Leadership contest, new Tory leader would require a mandate from a GE
2nd most likely: Vote of no confidence in the current government

That would require MPs to vote for an election (because of the fixed term parliament act) and given events of the past 24 hours that is highly unlikely to be successful.

Greenbank in reply to @boristrump

The question was "but by what mechanism is there likely to be another election soon?"

It wasn't "What is likely to happen soon?"

If there was going to be an election it would either be self induced (leadership contest) or brought on by the opposition going for a vote of no confidence.
