That would put BJ into the history books, but perhaps not in the way he wanted.

Former Supreme Court judge Lord Sumption also told Sky News there would be "plenty of ways" to enforce the law.
He said MPs opposed to no-deal could apply for an injunction ordering Mr Johnson to authorise a delay.
If the prime minister still refused to comply, a judge could make an order demanding that a government official sign off the extension "in place of the prime minister".
"He's not going to be marched off to Pentonville Prison… it's much less dramatic than all that", he added.
However, the author and historian told Sky News he thought it was unlikely to get to that point as senior civil servants would refuse to co-operate with a prime minister who was wilfully breaking the law.
