Nigel Farage has been enjoying himself at Tory conference. The former Brexit party leader was filmed last night singing karaoke with Priti Patel and today he’s been propping up the bar in the Midland hotel in Manchester.
Farage certainly looks comfortable rubbing shoulders with Tory delegates, but would he ever be welcomed back into the Conservative fold? Jacob Rees-Mogg says that the party should welcome Farage – whom he jokingly described as ‘a bit left wing’ – with open arms.
Mogg also went further – suggesting Farage should be put in the House of Lords. He told a Spectator conference fringe event that his fellow Brexiteer’s ‘contribution to public life’ meant that Farage deserved a peerage. Arise, Sir Nigel?
