 In the past some PMs have been Lords, but since the First World War or so this would be politically difficult, and nowadays all PMs are drawn from MPs. Formally the PM is chosen by the monarch, but in practice the monarch must choose someone who already has support in Parliament, and nowadays this is simply a rubber stamp for the MP that the governing party has chosen to be their leader.
