savetodaysavetomorrow.com - from edf (see a theme here?)

Loopholes in £1bn insulation plan mean millions struggling with ‘fuel poverty’ will lose out

Aren't loopholes what dodgy folk use to get out of Government obligations; not the other way round?

Despite my wife's best efforts, thanks to Junkk.com and RE:tie's investment/return plot I think we might have qualified, except..

Nor will most homes built before the 1930s, which are unsuitable for cavity-wall insulation. - tick, again.

However, looks like we're not the only ones with not as much as we could have upstairs.
