Parliament certainly don't seem to be bothered about playing fast and loose with the constitution? But I agree, unlikely.

I think at this stage the most likely outcome on Monday is that the Opposition will be told the Benn Bill will go to the palace for assent at the same time as the motion for a general election. The Lords were all set to talk their way through the weekend on Wednesday night and then it all came to an abrupt halt at 1.30am. Something must have occurred in order to make that happen. The suggestion of a deal, or perhaps just the threat of withholding the Benn Bill from the Queen’s in-tray, is my bet.

Again I agree, if we return with a Brexit focused government, with a majority, the Benn Bill could be overturned anyway. If we don't get a government with a working majority with all MPs in line, then we will just have more of the same.
