EXCLUSIVEElon Musk and Dominic Cummings 'in plot to sabotage UK politics': Former No 10 adviser 'is helping orchestrate Tesla billionaire's attacks on Keir Starmer'
Dominic Cummings is helping orchestrate Elon Musk 's vitriolic attacks on British politicians including Sir Keir Starmer , senior Government sources have claimed. Boris Johnson 's former No 10 adviser - who is planning a new 'StartUp Party' which he hopes will smash the traditional Westminster system - is understood to be communicating with Mr Musk on WhatsApp. The sources say that Mr Cummings, who has called for huge cuts to the size of the British state, is advising Mr Musk on his mission to slash trillions of dollars from US government spending on behalf of incoming President Donald Trump. But they also believe Mr Cummings has encouraged Mr Musk's incendiary social media posts calling for Sir Keir to be removed from office and even imprisoned amid criticism of the Prime Minister's record on the grooming gangs scandal. Mr Musk has also called for Nigel Farage to be toppled, although the Reform UK leader yesterday said he was back on good terms with the owner of X.

EXCLUSIVEWhen Maya Jama dumped Stormzy they claimed they had simply 'grown apart'. But now insiders say the truth could be more humiliating for Britain's 'King of Grime'
When Maya Jama dumped her rapper boyfriend, Stormzy, fans were left heartbroken that music's golden couple had split - but insiders suggest there was another reason than simply 'growing apart'.

Universal signed Stormzy so he could help the relaunch of its Def Jam label - once home to classic rap acts such as Public Enemy and the Beastie Boys - but it proved an expensive error.

Naomi Watts says she was told revealing that she'd hit the menopause at 36 would end her Hollywood career - and even drawing attention to her age would be 'career suicide'
Hollywood actress Naomi Watts was warned her career would be over if she revealed she was menopausal. The British-born star, who started experiencing symptoms at just 36, was told that even drawing attention to her age would be 'career suicide'. But now, aged 56, Ms Watts has spoken of her experiences of menopause in a new book aimed at challenging the stigma older women face in Hollywood. The King Kong actress writes in Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I'd Known About Menopause: 'I was told I would never work again if I admitted to being menopausal, or even perimenopausal. 'Hollywood's lovely term for such women was "unf***able". I'd been warned ever since I started acting that calling attention to your age - when that age was not 23 or younger - would be career suicide.'
I don't want my teenage daughters to see my latest sex scenes, says Nicole Kidman following release of steamy drama Babygirl
Nicole Kidman's new movie is so sexually charged that she doesn't want her teenage daughters to see it. The Australian actress plays a married middle-aged executive who has a highly erotic affair with a much younger intern in her latest film Babygirl. Even though the actress says the film aims to show female sexual pleasure as it really is - albeit with the help of a co-star half her age - she doesn't want the daughters she shares with musician Keith Urban, Sunday Rose, 16, and 14-year-old Faith Margaret, to watch it because of the intense sex scenes. 'Well, my daughters aren't seeing it,' she says in the Telegraph Review, adding: 'But they've also declared that they don't want to see it. Neither of them has any interest in seeing Mum like that.' In Babygirl, described as a modern take on the erotic thriller, Kidman, 57, plays Romy, the married but sexually frustrated CEO of an AI-driven logistics firm who embarks on a steamy entanglement with brazen intern Samuel played by 28-year-old British actor Harris Dickinson.
