Former government minister delivers verdict on Nigel Farage as PM
Michael Gove has asserted that Nigel Farage is not a 'plausible prime minister ' and will not be ready for the role even in four years.
The senior Conservative minister praised Farage's communication skills but questioned Reform 's team, policies, and programme for effective governance.
Gove suggested Reform 's recent electoral success is due to being a 'repository of anger' against the political classes, rather than offering a compelling vision.
He also described Farage as a 'bulwark against greater extremism' and recalled helping him resolve an issue with The Times newspaper.
