Bring back Boris

Says Lady McAlpine and "50" other MPs and Peers.
The loaded lady told the Mail on Sunday: "As far as I am concerned the Tory party is rotten to the core. We need new Conservative values, and Boris is the person to deliver that.

I don't think so. Farage was leader of UKIP for a long time but has never won a seat in the Commons.
