Music superstar backs Nigel Farage saying voters ‘should give him a chance'
SIR Rod Stewart says voters should 'give Nigel Farage a chance'.
The 80-year-old rocker slammed Prime Minister Keir Starmer's policies on fishing rights in Scotland as he revealed he thinks the Reform leader is "coming across well".

New polls suggest Reform is on track to win the next election - with more than a third of voters saying they will support the right-wing party.
And Rod 'The Mod' is no different.
Ahead of his Glastonbury set this Sunday, the Maggie May singer insisted that despite his 'extreme wealth', he is not out of touch.
Sir Rod was asked in an interview with The Times where he sees Britain's political future heading.
He responded: "It's hard for me because I'm extremely wealthy, and I deserve to be, so a lot of it doesn't really touch me. But that doesn't mean I'm out of touch.
"For instance, I've read about Starmer cutting off the fishing in Scotland and giving it back to the EU. That hasn't made him popular. We're fed up with the Tories. 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.
"But Starmer's all about getting us out of Brexit and I don't know how he's going to do that. Still, the country will survive. It could be worse. We could be in the Gaza Strip."
It comes after the music legend hit out at Farage last June after he claimed that the West provoked Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Stewart previously said he was "outraged and dumbfounded" after Farage argued that the EU and NATO had given Putin a "reason" to tell his people "they're coming for us again'.
We previously told how Sir Rod lifted the lid on exactly how much he is getting paid to play at Glastonbury this year - as well as how much money he'll lose.
He is set to return to Worthy Farm for the first time in decades, having last performed on the Pyramid Stage 23 years ago.
He's performing as this year's Legends slot act, joining a long list of iconic acts who've taken on the prestigious role.

Shropshire dads humbled by response to autism podcast
Two dads who make a podcast about the experience of raising an autistic child have said the response has been "phenomenal" and "humbling".Andy Williams and Gaz Hitchin from Shropshire released the first episode in May and said they wanted to connect with other dads, share the ups and downs, and tell them everything will be its first five weeks the Autism Dadcast Instagram channel has picked up 31,000 followers and had 2.3m views. The pair have been approached by national charities asking for their support with Williams said the feedback from other dads had made the duo "realise that there are so many men out there who were feeling exactly what we were until we opened up". The pair first met each other at a fundraising marathon in Paris in Williams said: "We did the run, raised some money, and got talking about where are the dads in this journey? Why aren't there any dads openly discussing what it's like to suddenly become a parent to an autistic child?"They then resolved "just to become the voices and do a podcast".Both men have young children who are profoundly autistic and non-verbal and the podcast features stories from day-to-day life, from filling in forms to cleaning up agreed to "say things as they are" and talk about grief, resentment and isolation, but also include some humour. Mr Hitchin said a lot of parents of children with autism will have experienced "real deep sadness, like you've lost a child even though [what] we've actually lost is the expectation of a child, not the actual child itself".He said he wanted to tell other parents "you're going to be ok". Mr Williams said another important part of the podcast was explaining the experience from a man's said: "Throughout my adult life, if there's a problem around the house or something at work, I'll sit down, I'll think about it and I'll try and find a way to fix it and I think a lot of men could probably relate to that." He added that he believed men often struggled on receiving an autism diagnosis for their child and found themselves having to make practical adjustments to their lives - which he called a "mental shift of epic proportions"."Now I need to do the best I possibly can to ensure [my child] reaches her potential, whatever that looks like," he said. Encouraging dads to 'get stuck in' Neither of the men had any background in podcasting before they started and they made clear they were learning about autism as they went Williams said mums had traditionally "shouldered the weight" and added: "It seems to be the case that they're the most vocal, they're the most active out there."He said he hoped the podcast might encourage more dads to "roll their sleeves up" and get involved in autistic children's lives."A tag team of two parents that are completely on the same page and pushing for what's right for their child ultimately has the best results," he included, he added, getting to grips with the benefits system, schools and Education, Health and Care Plans at a time when all were coming under political Hitchin said both of them recognised they had to "get stuck in" and Mr Williams admitted he found the work "draining and time consuming"."You have to almost become a law expert and advocate all rolled into one, as well as trying to be a parent to a neuro diverse child," Mr Williams said. The two men joked that they thought only their friends and family would listen to their podcasts, but Mr Hitchin said: "It's turning into something we've never imagined."The podcast has brought them the attention of national charities such as the Disabled Children's Partnership, the National Autistic Society and Mencap, who all want to work with them, according to the have been invited to a lobbying event at parliament in September and Mr Williams said they were starting to feel the "weight of expectation".But he said they also saw the opportunity to "stand up for fellow parents" and "get some real opinions out there and hopefully influence some decisions that could be made".

'You've got to be different', Shrewsbury Food Festival boss says
Welcoming about 24,000 people across two days, and now in its 12th year, Shrewsbury Food Festival appears to have cracked the code for success as a large events like Shrewsbury Flower Show, the Battle of Shrewsbury and Camp Bestival's Shropshire event being cancelled in the last 12 months, organisers face a series of challenges to make their festivals of this year's event on Saturday and Sunday at the Quarry, director of fun Beth Heath said the food festival's constant effort to make every year different was what kept people flooding through the gates."You've got to mix it up, you've got to be different, otherwise you're not satisfying the audience," she said. "We also have big move-arounds of our stall-holders, we bring in new concepts."We're quite a small team, we're able to be quite agile when it comes to bringing new things in."As usual, this year will see about 180 food and drink exhibitors, two live music stages, and two chef stages, alongside cooking for kids and activities. Ms Heath added that working with local people and producers, and being part of the local community, was also key to their listening to visitor feedback, this year the festival has a Teach and Taste stage, where attendees can sample exhibitors' food - an evolution of its predecessor, Chef event is also working with Shrewsbury Prison to offer free entry to the venue for those who attend the food festival on the event is staying open until 22:00 BST on Saturday for the first time in its history, to host a gig raising money for a local is in aid of Shine On with Harvey Owen - set up by local woman Crystal followed the death of her son Harvey and three friends in a car crash in Wales in 2023. "That charity is all about getting kids into food and music, which is exactly why we exist as well," said Ms Heath."To be able to have a charity where we bring together people to enable other children to enjoy a food, drink or music career is absolutely essential for us."The food festival also has a dedicated community area that expands every year, featuring teams from local police, fire and water rescue services."We're here to be part of the community, we are a food and drinks festival and that's obviously our predominant job, but we're also a huge part of the world that we live in, so we try and help people that way too.""If we can educate a youngster which means they don't get into a car with someone who's been drinking, or they don't take drugs, or they understand how to rescue somebody if they fall in the river… that's huge, that's them being a better member of our community."

The gold-plated pensions costing taxpayers £400m a year
Taxpayers are spending more than £400m a year on gold-plated pensions for just 10,600 judges, new analysis shows. The average member of the Judicial Pension Scheme now receives £37,000 in pension contributions for each year of work, before being handed almost £40,000 a year in retirement. They have built up £4.5bn in taxpayer-funded pension entitlements, but pay up to 7pc towards the cost of their retirements. The figures come despite major reforms to public sector pensions in 2015 after rising costs pushed the Government to act. The Taxpayers' Alliance said judges should be moved into defined contribution schemes, while the Intergenerational Foundation said the 'profligate pension promises' would be funded by young people. There were 10,578 members of the Judicial Pension Scheme at the end of 2023-24, according to a Freedom of Information request made by The Telegraph. Judicial salaries ranged from £106,563 to £312,510 during the year, according to the Ministry of Justice. As public sector workers, they are entitled to guaranteed, inflation-linked pensions for life. The scheme's 6,162 working judges paid in 4.1pc of their salary on average. As their employer, the Ministry of Justice then added another 51.1pc at a cost of £229m. The required employer contribution increased to 62.6pc from April last year to keep pace with the rising costs of the scheme, but the amount paid in by employees has remained the same. Before 2012, judges did not have to contribute to their personal pensions and only paid towards benefits for their dependants. The scheme's pension payouts are also more generous than other key public sector schemes, with retirees receiving £39,400 on average – costing taxpayers another £180m a year, taking the total bill to £409m. By comparison, the average pension was around £16,600 for teachers and £12,300 for Armed Forces personnel, falling to £11,400 for NHS workers and £9,900 for retired civil servants. Liz Emerson, of the Intergenerational Foundation, said: 'Younger generations can only dream of similar pensions, but they will end up paying for these profligate promises via higher taxation, later retirements and lower pensions themselves. 'At the very least, the Government should levy National Insurance contributions on annual pensions that are higher than the average earnings of working-age adults.' Public sector pensions already cost the UK £54.3bn a year, despite being moved away from final salary schemes in 2015 amid fears they had become unaffordable. Payments are now based on a worker's average earnings, but the final salary entitlement for existing members was extended to 2022 after a legal challenge from members of the judicial and firefighters' pension schemes. Under the new system, judges have 2.5pc of their salary added to their pension each year, which is more than teachers, civil servants, NHS workers and Armed Forces personnel. John O'Connell, of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: ' Public sector pensions are extraordinarily generous with employer contributions, often outstripping those in the private sector. 'But what makes them particularly generous is the fact that they are gold-plated schemes, not based on the value of a pension pot, but on the average earnings of the employee, meaning they get topped up above and beyond what has already been contributed. 'On top of this, they are unfunded, coming not from an investment scheme, but general taxation. At the very least, ministers should be moving all public sector workers onto fully-funded, defined contribution schemes which are based on monies actually paid in.' A report published last year by the University College London Judicial Institute revealed that more than one in three judges planned to quit the profession within five years, citing poor working conditions and a continual loss of net earnings amid a backlog in the country's courts. The Senior Salaries Review body recommended a 4.75pc pay rise for members of the judiciary for 2025-26, but the Lord Chancellor reduced it to 4pc. A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: 'The Judicial Pension Scheme 2022 is designed to encourage top legal professionals to become judges who are vital to keeping the justice system running.'
