Inside Everton's new dawn: Mass overhaul behind the scenes, David Moyes' demands for his squad, what new owners have brought and how they will convince Jack Grealish to be the star that lights up new stadium
Dream big: the phrase is on a maroon billboard, painted in gold letters, but it will strike a chord with all those embarking on a new, Blue pilgrimage. Those two words haven't come from Everton 's marketing team. They are linked to the conversion of the old Tobacco Warehouse, the biggest in the world when it was built in 1901, on the dock road into luxury flats. The reality, though, is that this is precisely the time for Everton to dream big.

Tories savage 'deranged' £650million electric car grant scheme that 'hands taxpayers' money' to foreign automakers
More electric car models will be eligible for taxpayer-funded grants as part of Labour's drive to meet Net Zero goals. The Department for Transport (DfT) has announced £1,500 discounts for certain Nissan, Renault and Vauxhall models. But the Tories branded the plans 'deranged' and questioned why ministers were handing taxpayers' money to foreign car companies. The £650 million electric car grant scheme enables motorists purchasing some new electric cars costing up to £37,000 to save either £1,500 or £3,750, depending on the vehicle's green credentials. The greenest vehicles will be in band one, while band two vehicles will receive up to £1,500. Chinese EVs are not expected to meet the criteria for the grants. No band one models have been announced yet. But Richard Holden, Tory transport spokesman, said: 'Labour ministers' decision to hand £650 million of taxpayers' money to foreign car companies, for cars made in foreign countries, is deranged. 'This latest mess with a confused rollout and botched incentives is only making things worse. Labour has put ideological obsession ahead of hard-pressed taxpayers.' Under the Government's zero emission vehicle (Zev) mandate, at least 28% of new cars sold by each manufacturer in the UK this year must be zero emission, which generally means pure electric. Across all manufacturers, the figure during the first half of the year was 21.6%. But the Government has pledged to ban the sale of new fully petrol and diesel cars and vans from 2030. The DfT has previously said many drivers cite upfront costs as a 'key barrier to buying an electric vehicle' and the grant will bring down prices so they 'more closely match their petrol and diesel counterparts'. Funding for the scheme will remain 'under review'. And it will not immediately be available as manufacturers must apply for eligibility for vehicles in their ranges, rather than buyers registering grants at the point of purchase. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said: 'With discounts on 17 car models announced this week alone, we're delivering on our promise to make it easier and cheaper for families to go electric.'

ANDREW NEIL: Rachel Reeves has spent like a drunken sailor. Now she's in a mad scramble for tax rises. This is what's coming... she risks tilting us into a death spiral
Britain's beleaguered Labour Government has begun a desperate scramble to determine which of our taxes should be jacked up – and by how much – in the autumn Budget. Even though we're now in the midst of the summer 'silly season', when political news tends to take a back seat to more frothy activities, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves are already in cahoots to soften up worried financial markets and hard-pressed voters for major tax rises.
