       Sir Rod said he had read about the Prime Minister'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,” the singer lamented.

       “Starmer’s all about getting us out of Brexit, and I don’t know how he’s going to do that," Sir Rod noted.

       He also suggested there was a reason to believe in Reform UK's leader, saying: “What options have we got? I know some of his family, I know his brother, and I quite like him.”

       Since airing his views, the hitmaker looks focused on his Glastonbury comeback. He last headlined the festival on the Pyramid Stage in 2002.

       He's also set to do a 90-minute slot instead of a 75-minute one after "begging" organisers for a longer show.

       Sir Rod shared: “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.”
