Celebrity nigel farage rod stewart
People had plenty to say about Rod Stewart voicing support for Nigel Farage, but Dom Joly’s cut was the deepest
At the age of 80, Rod Stewart was one of the oldest performers at Glastonbury this weekend, pipping even the ironically named 79-year old Neil Young to the post.
He drew quite a crowd for his Legends slot, and the reviews came in from the people who love him …
Says it all when an 80 year old singer puts on the best show of the entire Glastonbury weekend.

As well as those who clearly don’t.

But it was less his vocal stylings than his thoughts on Nigel Farage from an interview in the Times that grabbed our attention.
He told Will Hodgkinson –
“We’ve got to give Farage a chance. He’s coming across well.”
“What options have we got? I know some of his family, I know his brother, and I quite like him.”
We’re guessing he didn’t take a straw poll of Clacton residents for that one. His suggestion certainly didn’t win the votes of these people.

I’m mystified why aged multi-millionaire Rod Stewart should suddenly support the Reform Party, after they announced thier policy to allow multi-millionaires to live effectively tax-free. pic.twitter.com/e1gatXQsOv

Being a Celtic fan is more than just supporting the football.
It’s about embodying a set of values that our club was founded on
Values that help the poorest in our communities, and welcomed the migrant, the refugee, the foreigner
Rod Stewart, Reform UK do not hold these values pic.twitter.com/7WHwLwknTb

What’s that? Rod Stewart says we sh- let me stop you there poppet. Rod Stewart is a nasty little man with limited relevance beyond bad hair and baffling awful vocals.

People were reminded that it wasn’t Rod Stewart’s first far-right rodeo.

Rod Stewart, 1970:
"Enoch is the man. I'm all for him. This country is overcrowded. The immigrants should be sent home"
On ticket prices: "This is my job… I'm not going to be doing it in 5 years time. I don't do anything for nothing. I'm quite materialistic"#Glastonbury2025 pic.twitter.com/VVF8Ws14yq

You f*cking idiot. Most people had forgotten Rod fucking Stewart praised Enoch in the ‘70s and said there was too many immigrants over here. We’d rebuilt his reputation and it took f*cking decades. Now you’ve ruined it again letting him say we should give Farage a f*cking chance. pic.twitter.com/2zHEHpKhNH

It wasn’t just online that the political leanings of Celtic’s biggest fan got some stick, either.

The very funny Dom Joly had an explanation for the singer’s controversial quote.

The BBC will probably cut this from the schedule due to its honesty and criticism of Reform. pic.twitter.com/Enq0pT037J
