The new leader of UKIP is getting the right hump because people keep calling him Dick Braine – even though that’s his name.

Sure, it appears as Richard on his birth certificate, but Dick Braine seems the perfect label for a man heading that party.

It could even be an example of “nominative determinism”– that is when a person’s given name seems to drive them towards a job or career that matches it.

Experts claim it is down to something called “implicit egotism” — when people think most positively about the thing that is associated with their monicker.

Of course, it could all just be glorious coincidence.
