Don't you think this is possible?

Not in that sequence - the Leader of the Conservative Party has to be a MP; so he would need to renounce his peerage, stand for election (and win, which is fairly important), only then can he be nominated (and have to win the contest) to be Leader of the Party, then, at the end of this very long and convuluted sequence of events, could he possibly be PM.
I think Truss, Sunak, Raab, Patel, et al, may not sit idly by whilst this was happening...
