  Last week, I had a dream about being at a Reform party rally in a dark windowless room like a basement nightclub. The warm-up act was two or three Nigel Farage lookalikes doing circuits of the crowd, one of whom rode a bicycle. An onlooker threw a penny at one of the lookalikes, seemingly aiming for his eye, but the lookalike produced it from his ear with a flourish, like a magician. Then the main act, the real Nigel Farage, arrived. He began to sing a song and do some small dance steps. Everyon...
