I understand where you are coming from and there are clearly lots of issues on which we can agree.
But she's a jorno with strong links to the BBC who strongly supports Brexit. She seems like an obvious choice IMO. I genuinely don't see how the fact that she has extremely recently become a politician makes her unsuitable.

But she's a jorno with strong links to the BBC: Exactly, they love her. That's up to them, and for other articles I guess it would be fine.
Perhaps if they had picked her and somebody else who wants Remain and give equal space, I'd be less critical as well. It just isn't balanced to me atm.
I think it would not be wise to ask somebody who wants to cancel A50 and give them that much space either btw.

"Supporting Brexit doesn't preclude her from having an opinion about how to argue on the subject." No it does not, it is just the choice of her and giving her so much space that I don't like.
They could have picked another Brexiter from a less contentuous party (because what a lot of what Farage has come out with it is not exactly reasoned argument...non agression pact refers to actual historical fascists) to make the arguments.
