Each kit produces up to 800W of power, which is enough to provide up to 20% of an average home’s electricity use when the sun is shining, according to officials.

As they go on sale, ministers say prices could start off higher but they expect them to settle at around £400 to £600 – depending on the size and model – amid growing competition as more models come on to the market.

Currys, B&Q, Screwfix and Wickes are also among retailers that have committed to stocking plug-in panels.

The sale of the technology was previously restricted in the UK because of safety and wiring standards.

The party – which until now has largely been based in Mr Lowe’s constituency, Great Yarmouth – is further to the right than Reform on issues such as immigration and has enjoyed support from tech billionaire Elon Musk, who has publicly backed Restore Britain a number of times on his X platform.

You're telling me the platform run by Nazis, which endorses Nazis, also funds them? Color me surprised.

But seriously though, I'm surprised that they can make any money from this at all. Let alone these wild numbers. I had never even heard of this party.

The USPS acknowledged in the text of the final rule posted online Friday, which is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register next week, that two injunctions issued by federal courts in California and Massachusetts currently bar it from moving ahead with the changes to comply with a March executive order signed by Donald Trump.

The federal government has sued 30 states and Washington DC for refusing to hand over lists of eligible voters.

Nearly one in three Americans voted by mail in 2024, but Trump, who wants to restrict the number of voters by limiting ballots cast by mail, signed an executive order in March that prohibits the USPS from delivering ballots to any voters not on a federal list of citizens deemed eligible to vote in each state by the Department of Homeland Security.

The USPS proposal to implement this order seeks to require states to give the postal service the names and barcodes tied to mail-in ballots for federal elections. The service said it received more than 200,000 responses to its proposed rule change during a public comment period.

Liman had come to shoot his latest fictional political thriller. Its subject: the 2022 Nord Stream explosions, in which a team of Ukrainian divers allegedly blew up a pipeline supplying Russian natural gas to Germany. One of the chief suspects, Volodymyr Zhuravlev, had twice eluded the Germany authorities: once allegedly slipping out of Poland in the boot of a diplomatic car, and on another occasion freed by a court.

On Wednesday, however, Zhuravlev’s luck ran out. He was detained in the Croatian city of Pula – where, in an incredible meta-twist, German media said he had been acting as a consultant on Liman’s movie, Snake Island, which dramatically reconstructs Zhuravlev’s alleged act of watery sabotage.

Goes to the film set of a movie about a crime I did and am actively being pursued over

"Ummm, actually, it didn't go down like that"

Gets arrested for said crime

I hope he gets royalties.

But after having sent the letter to Kidsgrove Town Council, rather than Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, she changed her mind about quitting.

Electoral Commission rules stated a councillor cannot withdraw their resignation once it has been received by the authority.

“In this instance, a letter was hand-delivered to an incorrect address at Kidsgrove Town Council.

New research on public perception of crime found the public guessed foreign nationals make up twice the number of sexual offenders than official statistics show (30 per cent compared to 15 per cent). They also estimated foreign nationals make up 25 per cent of the prison population, when in reality they make up just 15 per cent.

Rates of mobile phone theft, domestic burglary, vehicle theft, and murder have all fallen, despite perceptions that all have risen, the study found. In fact, researchers at King’s College London found, the general public were wrong about crime on nearly every measure

Based on two surveys of 1,797 and 2,164 UK adults, the research suggested Reform UK supporters stand out as consistently the most wrong

Color me surprised!

Presumably I'd at least end up on a list from this post, or if I already am on there, they'd add an underline.

"Guys, we're going to save 50 billion buy cutting all support to disabled people"

For what purpose? If you remove all welfare, what is the purpose of the government? Who would those savings benefit? The answer is tax breaks for the rich.

The only people who would vote for Reform are the ultra rich, the ultra stupid, or the ultra racist. "Yes, I'd like the party that actively promises to make everything worse."

Interestingly, they don't ban the glasses outright. Just not recording with them. More difficult to enforce I think.

It might be difficult to ban someone from using something they might use to see, but I'd expect most people to not have only these glasses to see with, after all, what will you do while they charge?

It seems wildly racist for the conservatives to say "Not enough social housing? Just evict people we view as lesser".

It's nakedly an attempt to pit the poor against each other instead of actually fixing the issue.

It's victim blaming pure-and-simple. Not only that, but it's coming from the abuser. The Tories CAUSED this crisis, and now they're blaming those suffering from it.

This is not a full article, but the readers comments really dunk on this nonsense and I like it.

Guys, we really need to save on welfare costs. That's why we made a controversial cut of £5b to disability support.

Meanwhile, we think the army needs more money. £3b last year, and £8.4b here. It's really worth it, I promise.

In his first major interview since becoming prime minister, Andy Burnham admitted to the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg that the nation’s welfare bill has to be reduced.

And he made it clear that going forward certain benefits, including mental health support, will become “conditional” on people taking work and not staying at home.

Terrible. Seems like I will still be able to call Labour under Burnham "Forced Labour".

Anyone worth their salt will tell you that we need to make it easier to get benefits. Hell, the recent Timms Review found that disability benefits were degrading and dehumanizing to apply for. Making care conditional on work is insane, and Burnham needs to realize this was one of Starmer's biggest failures.

Stop trying to take money away from disabled people. Why don't you try taking money away from people that don't need it. The rich. The fact Labour leadership is not doing this shows they are either corrupt or cowards.
