Spare us from the Farage barrage

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. Prof Nick Spencer Leamington Spa, Warwickshire • Please cut down or reduce the number of pictures of a gurning Nigel Farage. I’m getting the visual version of an earworm – an eyeworm, perhaps? It’s awful. Terry Carbro Whitby, North Yorkshire • On Saturday, I opened my paper excitedly anticipating my guide to living with cats (The Guardian guide to living with dogs, 26 April). I searched in vain. Crestfallen now. Annie Grist Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire • I’m with Christine Walters on the subject of dark chocolate digestive biscuits (Letters, 1 May). Even better, try them with a stiff gin and tonic – you will not even care which way is up. Gill Whelan Aberdeen • My favourite chocolate digestive snack is from the tin in my allotment shed. They are often stuck together in fours, which is ideal. Suzanne Perkins London • Pea guacamole – surely that’s mushy peas (Feast, 3 May)! Fred Pickering Chapel-en-le-Frith, High Peak, Derbyshire • Have an opinion on anything you’ve read in the Guardian today?
