The money section of the Daily Mail has come.up trump's time and time again for decent information.

Whilst I don't read the Daily Mail the snobbery on here towards the full publication is widespread and baffling.

Why don't you read the Daily Mail veryintrigued, I am intrigued indeed. Personal choice is not snobbery, but the drama is one reason why I don't read the daily mail and their cousins.  

I don't read any newspapers TBH.

Little time for their political (left or right) paymasters or 'lets campaign for A, which they get, and then campaign for not A' type of, keep them in a job, journalism.

This was the angle I was coming from when I created this:

Whereas the main section of the DM has too much clickbait for my taste, I find the financial section excellent.

That is also true of their podcast in association with This is Money and Simon Lambert - a;podcast I never miss.

Daily Mail is not even worth wiping my bum with, let alone reading

Does this invalidate the information within this news report?

For those eschewing the article, this does suggest good news for savers for the next 12 months.

The article is stating facts.  Nothing to do with the newspaper itself.

Which is precisely my point!

For anyone wishing to access the press release as issued, it's at https://nsandi-corporate.com/news-research/news/nsi-2020-21-net-financing-target-revised-ps35-billion-and-nsi-issues-provisional

Buried in that press release are the words 

“NS&I announced at the Budget that its Value Indictor target had been suspended for three months. This suspension has been extended for a further three months to 30 September 2020 to reflect ongoing exceptional market conditions.“ 

(Value indicator is defined at https://nsandi-corporate.com/performance)

Suggesting it was a political decision, on the basis that they can borrow much lower thsn the NS&I rates if they wanted to

.We want your cash! The Government turns to Britain's army of savers with NS&I now looking to rake in £35bn this year as it ups target by 500% in wake of coronavirus...

And what a good idea to turn to the much trusted NS&I.  And I have no  obscene views on The Daily Mail ( though I don't read it) nor any other newspaper.

What financial institution doesn't want your money? Banks love you to put your money into them. 

Tell that to everyone wanting to open accounts with recent table topping savings providers like Marcus, Cynergy or Ford Money, those financial institutions along with many many others don't want your money!!!!

Don't want to hijack the thread, but do wonder if they'll get round to developing "Covid recovery bonds" along the lines of war bonds?

Daily Mail Money pages carry some good stories.  But he page is almost unusable for me now because of the pop-up ads.  Very reminiscent of pron sites 20 years (speaking for a friend).
