Peacemaker Duke of Marlborough tries to unite Elon Musk and Nigel Farage by inviting billionaire Tesla tycoon to Blenheim Palace

Following a public fallout between Elon Musk and Nigel Farage, with Musk advocating for Farage’s removal as leader, now one of Britain’s high-profile nobles has intervened to serve as a mediator.

In 2018, the Duke of Marlborough, who previously welcomed Donald Trump at a banquet, now extends an invitation to Elon Musk to visit Blenheim Palace, in hopes of mediating any disputes between him and Nigel Farage.

On the weekend, prior to Elon Musk receiving a challenge from Farage, Jamie Spencer-Churchill, the duke, extended an invitation to him online: “Let me arrange a dinner for you and your companions at Blenheim Palace, much like we did for Donald Trump. Supporting Nigel Farage and Reform UK is invaluable for Britain.

Even though Elon Musk later changed his stance regarding Nigel Farage, the duke remains keen on extending an invitation to the Tesla CEO to his historic Oxfordshire estate, which is famous for being the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.

The 69-year-old duke assures me that he’s sticking with his proposal. “Absolutely, it would be a pleasure to host Elon Musk here at Blenheim,” he says.

The duke, who supported reform during the previous year’s election, emphasizes the importance of keeping a tight alliance with the incoming US President, Donald Trump, and his efficiency expert, Elon Musk. He expresses this sentiment by stating, “It is crucial to work closely with Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

It seems that Musk’s remark about ‘Reform needing a new leader’ was likely spurred by Farage’s refusal to entertain Musk’s proposal for collaboration with imprisoned far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

As a lifestyle expert, I firmly believe that individuals who have previously been affiliated with extreme or divisive groups, such as the British National Party in this case, should not be granted membership in more moderate organizations like Reform. Their past actions and beliefs may contradict the core values of unity and inclusivity that Reform stands for, making their inclusion potentially harmful to the group’s mission and reputation.

He said, “Is it alright if we have groups of men with bald heads like those from ‘Peaky Blinders’ wandering about the countryside armed with knives and pitchforks?

In June, when he announced his endorsement of Farage’s party, he stated: “I’m casting my vote for Reform UK. I don’t support Keir Starmer, for clear reasons, and there’s no point in voting for the Conservatives because they won’t regain power for another decade or perhaps never.

Leftie Pilger left £3.4m

John Pilger, known for his progressive journalism with strong criticism towards America and Britain’s global impact, surprisingly amassed a wealth that would make many capitalists envious.

Probate documents now reveal that Pilger, who died a year ago at 84, left more than £3.4million.

Originally from a humble background in Australia, Pilger abandoned his Tuscan countryside residence (known for housing images of him alongside freedom activists and Leftist dictators) to be with his partner, Jane Hill.

The money from selling his London house was intended to be divided among Hill, Sam, and Zoe. Meanwhile, the remainder of his assets were to go to both Sam and Hill.

How Richard spiced up his girl’s big day

In a more casual and understandable rephrasing: Famous for his eccentric, alcoholic character in the movie Withnail And I, Richard E Grant dusted off an unsung costume for his daughter Olivia’s 36th birthday party.

As a devoted fan, I donned the striking purple attire that I donned when portraying the fictional Spice Girls manager, Clifford, in the iconic 1997 movie, Spice World.

Olivia donned a black gown and a ‘Sash of Prom Queen’. As for his attire, Grant mentions that he was instructed to wear his old purple suit, which has remained tucked away in the attic for nearly three decades.

He mentions: ‘The role was given to her when she was eight years old, and her eagerness to meet the Spice Girls is an experience I’ll always cherish.’

Manicure marathon? Nailed it!

Preparing hair and make-up for a red-carpet event can take ages – and that’s just for the men!

For actress Cynthia Erivo, who played a leading role in “Wicked,” an entire afternoon was spent meticulously preparing her remarkable nail art prior to the Golden Globe Awards.

‘This took five hours,’ says the actress, 37, from south London. ‘My wonderful manicurist did it.’

In my latest advice for a stylish manicure, I’ve been highlighting the charm of faux diamond-studded and metallic embellishments, where each nail showcases a unique color, all artfully arranged in a quartz marble pattern.

Erivo, who played Elphaba the bad witch, is known for her nails.

Lily Allen commented: ‘On a flight, I was seated beside Cynthia. She had impeccable nails. In business or first class, they serve warm nuts. I watched as Cynthia struggled to navigate through this bowl of nuts in an unsuccessful manner. Honestly, I would have gladly given her the nuts.’

Miranda’s mother is unlike the character in her show

In an interview about the popularity of her self-titled TV sitcom, Miranda Hart clarified that her actual mother, Diana, who is the granddaughter of the late diplomat Sir William Luce, has no resemblance to the demanding character portrayed by Patricia Hodge in the series.

She mentions her mother on Radio 3’s Private Passions, saying, ‘My mom had a tough time when the initial series was released due to people mistaking her for a character. However, it’s important to clarify that my mom never looks down on me or speaks ill of me in such a manner.’

Hart’s father is Captain David Hart Dyke, a former aide-de-camp to Queen Elizabeth.

Radcliffe scoops £100m

Despite Daniel Radcliffe distancing himself from J.K. Rowling’s views on transgender issues, it’s important to acknowledge that she played a significant role in helping him build a £100 million fortune through the Harry Potter series.

The recently disclosed financial records of Gilmore Jacobs, the firm where a 35-year-old actor deposited his income from the Harry Potter movies, show that it has amassed approximately £100.4 million prior to expenses.

Last year by March, the report indicated investments amounting to £64.2 million, £4.2 million in value for real estate investments, £21.3 million owed to them, and a cash reserve of £10.7 million.

Schama appeared lost for words with Cliff Richard

TV historian Sir Simon Schama seldom lacks speech, yet he seemed deeply moved during an interview with Sir Cliff Richard for his latest BBC Two series titled “Our Story.

Tomorrow, in the premiere episode, I’ll have the incredible opportunity to chat with my idol, the iconic pop star, now 84 years old. “You were my teen crush,” I’ll exclaim. “I dreamed of being just like you. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be!

In response to Sir Cliff’s chuckle, he says playfully: “Ha, ha! I’m grateful it didn’t happen.” After reminiscing about his first hit single, Move It, in 1958 – the UK’s pioneering rock ‘n’ roll triumph – Schama expresses: “It was significant for us kids that this took place in Britain. It was electrifyingly exciting for us.
