We&#8217;ll see. Depends how much of a mess the country gets in.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I honestly don&#8217;t know. I mean it&#8217;s not an easy job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Mr Farage later said: &#8220;As for little me, there is a lot of speculation after they lose the next election, maybe Nigel becomes leader of the Tory party one day so there&#8217;s a lot of chatter about whether it is going to happen, I have no idea.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The important thing is to say this, never say never.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It came as former Cabinet minister Simon Clarke last night backed Mr Farage to rejoin the Tory Party.<\/p>\n<p>He told ITV&#8217;s Peston: &#8220;I would absolutely like to see Nigel Farage welcomed to the Conservative Party.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d like to see hundreds of thousands of people join the party because ultimately we win as a mass movement and we win as a broad coalition of the centre-right in British politics.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And we were talking a moment ago about the impact of Reform or the potential impact of Reform.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It will be, let&#8217;s be clear, unless we&#8217;re very careful, to enable a Labour government which would be a disaster for this country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And that is why those of us who do believe that the kind of things that Nigel has campaigned on all his life &#8211; limited immigration, domestic control and sovereignty of our affairs, that we are actually fighting as one force come next year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he could be a future Tory leader, Mr Clarke said: &#8220;I think that might be a stretch but equally, do I think that Nigel could be doing better things than eating four types of penis? Maybe yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr Farage was a member of the Conservative Party but left in 1992 following the signing of an EU treaty.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/politics\/1838048\/nigel-farage-prime-minister-im-a-celebrity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tory MP backs Nigel Farage to join party Nigel Farage refused to rule out running for prime minister on last night&#8217;s I&#8217;m A Celebrity.
