Equivalent of US ETF "BND"

Hello,
I am looking for the ISA eligible equivalent of US ETF BND, that replicates the total bond market. After a few days of research, I am still falling short of finding anything close to it.
The only available option would be a combination of SLXX (Large Cap Corp bond) and some type of global government fund like SGLO.
The problem with the combination of 2 funds, is that it doubles the trading fees and hence eating in my yield, as I am making monthly contributions.
I am wondering if 1) you are aware of any total bond market ETF that would combine both corp and gov bonds and still ISA eligible - and 2) in case the answer of point 1 is no - am I really taking much risk in only going for SLXX (my portfolio would be 70% total stock market index (VWRL) and 30% Corp bonds... Too mcuh reliance on corporations / not enough risk spreading?
Thanks
