The UK's already abysmal progress on insulating homes slowed further in 2022.

🥶 Insulation rates last year were down 97 per cent from the early 2010s 🥶

We need to do better, if we want to protect household budgets and keep Britain warm.

It’s a very similar picture with life expectancy.

Although progress here has slowed in many countries over the last decade, under austerity the the UK’s trajectory has flattened off much more quickly than most.
