Original Note:
This is procedurally impossible. Erskine May, states only ministers and shadow ministers are permitted to speak from the dispatch boxes. Nigel Farage is not a minister or shadow minister, therefore, he would not be allowed to speak from the dispatch box. https://erskinemay.parliament.uk/section/4853/place-of-speaking-and-adjustments-for-individual-circumstances/ https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/glossary/despatch-boxes/
