Tory MP Jonathan Gullis has backed Nigel Farage to be a future Home Secretary.
The Stoke-on-Trent North MP said the former Ukip and Brexit Party leader would “take no prisoners”.
Mr Gullis, who co-founded the right-wing New Conservatives group, suggested Mr Farage could be made a peer like Lord David Cameron who made a sensational comeback as Foreign Secretary.
The Red Wall MP told GB News: “We can’t allow 300,000 plus net migration, we do need to actually deliver on the tens of thousands.
“Maybe, just maybe, the Conservatives could put Nigel Farage in the House of Lords.
“We’ve now got Lord Cameron as Foreign Secretary so I’ve got no issue with Lord Farage as Home Secretary in the future or in any other department if that would be the easiest way to get him into government quicker.
“I think he would take no nonsense, he would take no prisoners.
“He would call out the Civil Service for what they are at times, which are blockers to actual government policy, and make sure that we deliver on the priorities of the British public.”
Mr Gullis’s comments come as the Tories are under intense pressure to get a grip on both legal and illegal migration.
Home Secretary James Cleverly yesterday set out a five-point plan to slash net migration to the UK after official estimates showed figures hit a peak of 745,000 in 2022.
During his trip to Cop28 in Dubai, Rishi Sunak suggested Mr Farage would be welcome in the Conservative Party.
The Prime Minister said: “Our party has always been a broad church but my focus is consistently on delivering on the things that matter to people.”
Mr Farage left the Conservatives in 1992 over the signing of the Maastricht Treaty in 1992, which laid the foundations for the European Union.
He has since founded Ukip and the Brexit Party and is now a GB News presenter.
But Mr Farage is said to be eyeing a political return after his stint on ITV reality show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.
