The forever young 80-year-old, who is performing at Glastonbury this weekend, told The Times in an interview: “We’re fed up with the Tories. We’ve got to give Farage a chance. He’s coming across well.”
The rocker has not told us lately of his political views, but said that despite being “extremely wealthy” he was not out of touch with the public on the big issues of the day. He said he had read about Sir Keir’s 12-year fishing agreement with the European Union, which allows trawlermen from across the continent continued access to UK waters. “That hasn’t made him popular,” said the singer.

Referring to the Prime Minister’s attempt to reset Britain’s relations with the EU, Stewart said: “Starmer’s all about getting us out of Brexit and I don’t know how he’s going to do that.”
He suggested there was a reason to believe in Reform UK leader Mr Farage, saying: “What options have we got? I know some of his family, I know his brother, and I quite like him.”

“Usually I do well over two hours, so there’s still a load of songs we won’t be able to do,” he said. “But we’ve been working at it. I’m not gonna make any announcements between songs.”
