Does it go back up if you then add more?

Given how much I have in there, probably wouldn't be worth the hassle just for 6 months.

Moneyfacts has changed its best EA and ISA pages (but not the RS page) and it appears that it no longer shows any loyalty/existing member accounts - e.g. the Skipton Member EA at 4.25% does not appear. There use to be a full search function that would let you see loyalty accounts. Am I missing something or is this a poor upgrade by Moneyfacts?

Yes, you'll get 4.3% again when the balance goes to £5k

Any recommendations for an easy access savings account above 4.3% long term please?

I am afraid that if you want good rates and easy access that they tend to be accounts with a 6 month or 12 month bonus, which means you need to switch to another account when the bonus ends - rather than stay the long term. Accounts such as Ulster Bank Limited Edition Saver Account - Issue 3 - 4.30% variable with 12 month bonus, or Oxbury 5.01 with 6 month bonus.

Some without bonus:

HTB Hampshire Trust Bank Easy Access Online Saver (Issue 36) - 4.18% variable

cahoot Simple Saver (Issue 16) - 4.17% variable

There are some with better rates that limit the number of withdraws before the rate drops.

Yes and you don't seem to be able to search for monthly interest accounts. I contacted them about it on Friday and wait to hear

there is a "Monthly Interest" table, though it includes both EA and fixed accounts.

The ability to check for flexible ISA's only is also gone, unless I'm doing something wrong.

Just an update on Oxbury withdrawal times....they seem to "action" them around 3pm mark....I experimented 15 minutes before the 1pm cut off time....money in my nominated account at 3:15pm....not too bad...2 and a half hour access.
