It seems pretty much a certainty that Andy Burnham will be the next British prime minister. Exactly when it happens depends on a few factors. We outline some of the reasons an early general election is likely.

The govt. banned landlords from renting F or G rated property, they should now ban E and then later D, and see how quickly landlords insulate their inefficient properties!!😄

To correctly insulate an older property, it would cost tens of thousands of pounds per household. It's not just a matter of materials, it's labour too. Also, Victorian properties and older and even some after, use lime mortar and lime plaster. These buildings "breathe". You start suffocating older buildings with damp course injection, covering walls with cementitious mortar and plaster, you will undoubtedly make matters worse. To prevent these issues, the work that needs to be done per house is phenomenal and very expensive.
I'm not sure why this is never mentioned. I go on all the videos I can find with these idiots and make a similar comment when I have time. Also, I live in a Victorian property and I use less energy than the average household. Not just in my area but below the national average. It has no insulation and sash windows. There are drafts everywhere . The property is slowly being restored and drafts eliminated with modern sash window beads that have excluders etc. The point is, I use less energy than most, including my parents and other family members who live in modern, insulated properties. So, how does it actually help?? Get insulation so you can use more energy??

Q. How much insulation would be needed to insulate Britain?
A. Assuming they mean just the buildings, each home needs about 100m2 of insulation, and there are (say) 20 million homes which need insulating. That's 2 billion square meters of insulation (what's that in football pitches? – ed). That would stretch to the moon and back 2,600 times, or is the same length as 120 million whales, so it's rather a lot (that's only 3 trillion stuffed hedgehogs – ed). But don't forget all the other materials you would need: 1 billion square meters of plasterboard (making this generates a huge amount of CO2), 10 billion screws and nails, 1 billion square meters of plastic vapour barrier (even more CO2), 20-40 million additional lorry journeys, and you must install double glazing too, and under-floor heating. How much CO2 would be created by doing all this, and how much would be saved? I think they cancel each other out, so it doesn't really make any sense. New-build houses must, of course, be fully insulated, with under-floor heating and heat pumps.
But if the UK warms up a bit (don't forget global warming), then you won't need the insulation (except maybe to keep you cool). So the "Insulate Britain" bunch are assuming it will not get warmer then? I'm confused…
P.S. Plasterboard is only needed if you do interior insulation. On the exterior you often use a nasty resin-based compound to cover the (even nastier) polystyrene insulation.

we have started to suffer with condensation where me and my boyfriend currently live. That's because I live in an insulated house …. so if we insulate how do we make sure the house wont get condensation as this can lead to damp.
