RIGHT TIME FOR DYCHE TO LEAVE

...and for Moyes to make an emotional Goodison return

Same old story in limp opening to new era

IF David Moyes tuned in to see the team he could potentially be taking charge of, then this will have been an eye-opening watch. The expected replacement for Sean Dyche in the Goodison Park hotseat will have an FA Cup fourth round clash to contend with next month. But this was hardly a performance to get Moyes'

Human rights fury as Shein rep 'dodges questions'

FASHION giant Shein came under fire after a representative failed to give MPs a direct answer over materials it uses. Yinan Zhu was repeatedly asked in a Commons business and trade select committee hearing whether the retailer used any Chinese cotton in its products. But she requested to write to the committee with answers later.

...and for Moyes to make an emotional Goodison return

With Dyche's contract expiring this summer, there was an inevitability about the parting of the ways, even if it came at an unexpected moment. The task of the new, permanent manager will be to ensure the first season in the club's stunning, fresh dockside stadium is in the top flight. TFG will not want a bespoke firefighter, they will want someone who can not only grind out the results needed to stay up, but who can begin building a team to compete among the elite.

A little help getting buy

This means first-time buyers or homeowners hoping to downsize or move to a larger home will be able to buy from one of 50 registered developers in Wales with just a five per cent deposit.

Bubbles down to a tea

THESE days, I must confess, I struggle to keep abreast of what's fashionable. A stroll down our local high street provides a painful illustration of this. There are countless retail outlets which clearly aren't designed for the likes of me. For example, have you ever been into a branch of Hollister, the clothing store? I'm personally about as far removed from its target market, age-wise, as it's possible for a chap to be while still being clinically alive, but I went into our local branch with my daughter last week and I couldn't believe how ludicrously, fashionably \"subdued\" the lighting was.

A Starr is reborn

There is no calculation about Ringo's return to country, no Svengali telling him it's the 'in' market to crack. Instead, these eleven songs are fuelled by his genuine love of the genre, apparent from the Beatles era onwards.

Primal screams

Writer-director Halina Reijn's unflinching study of female sexuality is bookended by orgasms, all captured in exquisite, unabashed close-up on the face of Nicole Kidman. The first is loudly faked for a partner, who subsequently punctuates his sweat-glistened pleasure with three whispered words (\"I love you\"), and the second is intense, raw and genuine, reflecting a rare intimacy and vulnerability that requires no verbal outburst. Nothing is faked by Kidman. She delivers a fearless, gut-wrenching portrayal of a businesswoman, wife and mother ashamed of the animalistic desires in her head - until an abuse of power with a male subordinate allows BDSM-charged fantasy to become intoxicating reality.
