A cunning plan

Politico reports:

London may not be planning to nominate a commissioner to Brussels but if it does, some say there’s only one option: Nigel Farage.
Conservative MP Steve Baker told the Telegraph’s Chopper’s Brexit Podcast that the Brexit Party member of the European Parliament would be the obvious choice to be the U.K.’s European commissioner, if Brexit is delayed and the country is able to nominate one.

Oh that is delicious. If Boris is forced to ask for a delay, and the EU agrees, then the person they hate most in the world will be made a powerful EU Commissioner.

If that won’t encourage a member state to veto an extension, I don’t know what will!
