Faragitis: the collective delusion that a public-school educated former financial trader with his coterie of millionaire backers is a man of the people and the solution to the country’s manifest ills (‘They really are all horrible’: political anger marks Reform UK’s Runcorn win, 2 May). Not to be confused with pharyngitis, although both are associated with a severe pain in the neck.
