Farage reveals what it would take to rejoin the Tories<\/h3>\n

Nigel Farage would make a better prime minister than Rishi Sunak, according to an Express poll.<\/p>\n

This website asked readers if they would prefer the former Ukip leader in 10 Downing Street over the current Tory leader.<\/p>\n

As of 8am today, some 7,545 people had voted in the online survey with 92 per cent backing Mr Farage.<\/p>\n

Seven per cent voted in support of Mr Sunak, while one per cent did not know.<\/p>\n

It comes amid intense speculation over whether Mr Farage will make a sensational political comeback after coming third on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.<\/p>\n

The Brexiteer has also hinted he could return to the Tory Party in future under a different leader.<\/p>\n

A recent poll by JL Partners suggested Mr Farage was more popular with Conservative voters than the Prime Minister following his stint on the ITV reality show.<\/p>\n

The survey of 2,000 adults for The Sun suggested that among Tory 2019 backers, the former Brexit Party leader had a net popularity rating of plus 18, while Mr Sunak’s score was minus three.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the poll earlier this week, Mr Farage said he was “absolutely astonishing”.<\/p>\n

He said: “Well, it’s all very flattering, a little bit bewildering. It’s gonna take some time for me to sort of really take it on board. But fascinating, right?”<\/p>\n

Mr Farage also warned the Conservatives are in “dire, dire trouble” ahead of the next general election.<\/p>\n

He said: “I mean, this Government’s in desperate trouble headed for catastrophic defeat.<\/p>\n

“They’ve no idea what’s coming down the track towards them. And I think the last thing I heard before I went into the jungle was that Cameron was back… if it’s got that bad, they must be in real trouble.”<\/p>\n
