The BBC has been reporting on this issue for six years. Serious and systemic' problems found in insulated homes bbc.com/news/articles/…

Perhaps Ed Miliband you should first check that the insulation doesn’t cause damp and destroy the value of the properties you are trying to keep warm 🙄

willieeckerslike Francis Harris Im not even sure some of the past eco policies have stood up. We've got people who were given retrofitted insulation that was installed incorrectly & now their homes are full of damp and rot. And now you can't heat water using solar panels because hot water tanks were ripped out

Hundreds of thousands of homes need insulation removal. Why are you proposing more measures when there is such a poor track record? Help the people with damp, destroyed homes because of it.

Today's Poll: Have you had a heat pump installed in your home, and if you have, has it reduced or increased your total energy bills? Which of these is CLOSEST to your situation...

Jonesy Our house too. 1806 Cavity wall insulation creates damp and mildew, houses are meant to breathe, with air flowing. New houses are thrown up, made with cheap thin walls that won't last long. New estate near here - all the walls are already covered in black and green staining.

In terms of accountability - the criminal investigation is progressing, but desperately slowly. 58 individuals have been interviewed under caution, but trials won't start until mid-2027 at the earliest. And real financial penalties have not been implemented

When it comes to the built environment, there is no substitute for proper regulation and caution about safety. The cost of failure is enormous and fixing buildings once built is almost impossible. And yet we still make the same mistakes, generations on (ENDS)
