Is it safe

Is it still unsafe to invest more than 50k in one savings account considering no one lost out in the demise of falling banks going bust

Safety is relative. A lot of UK institutions are unlikely to go under. Some are more safe than others.

The crux is if it all goes to rats, then you WILL only be covered for £50k per. So it's up to you. Safe? Relatively.
