    NS&I bond is suddenly looking okay. Still have 2 Mons BS paying 1.20%
    1.2%, easy access, is not too difficult to find at present, but how long they and the NS&I income bonds will hold the current rates - who knows?
    I thought NS&I would be increasing their rates as govt have raised their target to about £35 billion.

    NS&I announced rate cuts. Then Rishi's plans were announced and NS&I withdrew their planned changes.
