Here's where they go.
Not every household will be able to install them but it should help a fair number of people while fighting climate change.
Would you rather no one got them for free?

I'd bring her back the week before she snuffed it though, no earlier. I wouldn't want her actually doing stuff...other than dying of course.

Earnings and employment from Pay As You Earn Real Time Information, seasonally adjusted - Office for National Statistics Earnings and employment statistics from Pay As You Earn (PAYE) Real Time Information (RTI), UK, NUTS 1, 2 and 3 areas and local authorities, monthly, seasonally adjusted.

I would also note that despite the (understandable) concern about youth unemployment/NEETs, the number of 18-24 years old on payrolls is actually *up* year on year.

Thinking back I can't remember even once in my life seeing or hearing of someone wandering around with a petrol bomb for no particular reason.
Maybe I've lived a sheltered life?

The thing about shitheads like him is that he might actually be telling the truth. He may well have had no particular feelings about jews but jumped enthusiastically at the opportunity of a bit of mindless destruction.

Remind how this appointment damaged the lives of ordinary people?

Quite.
This saga has had no impact on the lives of UK citizens or anyone else.
...save for the fact that the UK was able to get a 10% tariff rather than the 15% applied to the rest of Europe which may have saved a job or two.

At least we've won something this season.

He says a lot of things.
Most should be ignored.

So yes, Mandelson is an oily character but as far as I'm aware his time in office was a positive for our national interest whatever you might think of him.

Of course the extent of his friendship was not known and there is no suggestion that he was involved with any of Epstein's sex crimes.
He was central in negotiating a 10% tariff on UK goods while Europe got 15% which was a huge win for the UK and he is not accused of any crime while in his post.

I know.
It's more down to folk hating Mandelson because he was TB's right hand man (therefore evil) and being disillusioned with Starmer they have found a useful stick to beat Starmer with IMO.

Got our solar panels installed this AM. They came at 8:30am and we're gone by 1:30pm. 13 panels and 10kwh battery.

We can't export to the grid yet (the network operator has been flooded with new requests) but we charged our car with the sun this afternoon. Great feeling, strongly recommend.

Actually the full extent of Mandelson's relationship with Epstein was not fully known at that time. When his emails of support for Epstein were released by US government he was sacked.
Mandelson did nothing illegal wrt Epstein as far as anyone knows.

What's your point?

You seem determined to find
him guilty of something.
I get it, people have never liked Mandelson, find Starmer disappointing as a PM and as a result are using one to damage the other.
It's just a bit tiresome.

I was with you until the last sentence. I will not condemn an entire country for the actions of its leaders.

Yes but even so, what compelled the government to announce the appointment then rather than wait?

Exactly stop getting outraged by every outrageous remark. Ignore them, that will really annoy him.

I remember a local councillor, actually he was the Provost, complaining that on a Friday night "people were running around legless" in Ayr town centre.

Reform poised for north-east gain and SNP government minister toppled, poll finds An in-depth survey of voters suggests some big changes across the Highlands and Aberdeenshire.

This is interesting. The poll predicts the SNP losing seats in Holyrood at the election.
Sadly they will likely stay in government and Scotland desperately needs a change.

I'm always skeptical of BBC-bashing, but BBC News website hasn't reported on the Tice tax scandal since 12 April, when the headline was "Tice £91,000 tax row is 'minor administrative error', party claims".

You get good at it.
A hand fork, a kneeling pad and a bucket to put the weeds in and you can cover a lot of ground in an hour. Always dig the roots out.
When little seedlings sprout and cover the soil just run your hand fork over the surface.
Mulch with bark or wood chip in Autumn to suppress weeds.
