The Downfall of ECO
2 views • 12/18/2025
CEO of Skidmark, Lieman Scares and his Skidmark team, update the PM on the urgent matter of failures in solid wall insulation works, completed under ECO
| 00:00 - 00:03 | Prime Minister. Our state of the art |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | SWI radar warning system |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | identified poor EWI installs here in Birmingham |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | which we rapidly identified after 3 years of customer complaints |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | with further issues confirmed down here in Luton |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | If these issues were going on so long |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | why did you not report them to DESNZ sooner? |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Prime Minister... |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | We raised it at weekly meetings... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | But his dog ate the minutes, so we can't prove it |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | It is really not our fault |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Anyone who believes that Skidmark are not to blame, stay here |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | What was the point of the Each Home Counts Review?! |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | All of this was supposed to stop! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | Why weren't you auditing the works to spot this? |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | Now I will have to get Rachel to cancel ECO in her Budget! |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | it's ok Rachel |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | Ed Milliband will be incandescent about it! |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | But luckily he will roll over and agree |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | to the tens of thousands of job losses |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | PM it was because we need more money from you! |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | We have lent you millions already!! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | PM we acted as soon as we knew of the problem! |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | Well maybe you would have known sooner if you did your jobs properly! |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | It was obvious that works needed to be audited |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | and that cowboys would jump in |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | to defraud the system and carry out poor quality work |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | now there are thousands of people |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | whose homes have been ruined with these works |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | and whose families will have their health affected . |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | The whole reason for putting you in charge |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | was to stop this sort of thing happening, but this is worse than before! |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | By letting these cowboys get away with it for years |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | You have ruined the reputation of a trusted industry! |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | One that we need to hit our Net Zero targets! |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | As if we don't have enough to deal with |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | Knowing that we have to quietly slip £108 onto energy bills |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | to cover the new network charges |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | At least we can say that we are cutting bills by £49 a year |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | But this will devastate the industry we have tried to nurture |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | and tens of thousands will lose their jobs |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | It's ok Rachel, they will all go onto generous benefits |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | The sad thing is that all ECO installers |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | will be tarred with the same brush, which is not fair |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | We told them an ECO replacement was coming |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | But then we hit them with this |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | I want your letter of resignation and OBE on my desk by 9am tomorrow |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | This could all easily have been avoided |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | I am surprised you have not resigned already |
