Rod Stewart Backs Nigel Farage Ahead Glastonbury Set

Sir Rod Stewart has publicly endorsed Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK party, urging the public to "give Farage a chance" amid growing dissatisfaction with current Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Conservative Party. Stewart criticized Starmer for a 12-year fishing agreement with the European Union, which he claims is unpopular for allowing EU trawlermen continued access to UK waters, and expressed skepticism about Starmer's plan to reverse Brexit. Despite being extremely wealthy, Stewart insists he remains in touch with public concerns, lamenting Britain's poor infrastructure, particularly its pothole-ridden roads, and recalling his own efforts to fill potholes near his Essex home. Stewart's remarks come just before his highly anticipated Glastonbury performance, where he will take the "Legends" slot. Farage's Reform UK party has gained momentum recently, securing local election seats and polling as a significant opposition force against Starmer's Labour government. Stewart's endorsement reflects a wider trend of some prominent figures supporting Farage as a challenger to the current political establishment in the UK.
