Melanie Phillips, still a far right moron after all these years

Link to tweet

Phillips: I’ve said it before: draft Farage. Sack May, give Farage a peerage, make him party leader and PM – at least until UK really does properly leave the EU.
Too fanciful? Desperate times need desperate measures; public faith in democratic process now in danger

David Schneider: Democracy is in danger. So let’s undemocratically appoint to an unelected chamber a guy who failed to get democratically elected 7 times and put him in charge even though he hasn’t been democratically elected. That should reassure everyone about democracy.

He has no chance of becoming PM except in his own megalomaniac mind and that of a few nutters like Melanie Phillips.
