Can’t be any worse…surely? Got to give em time though to try to turn things around. After all, the Tories have been in power how long?

No idea Brin, that’s the risk. Not great now but it could be worse. Depends on whether or not the voting population want to take a punt. No real evidence to suggest it could be better, past Labour governments don’t have a great track record on the economy.

9 months @ 3.95% payment - £1,000 = £29.63 interest xxx £5,000 = £148.15 interest

6 months @ 3.5% payment --- £1,000 = £17.50 interest xxx £5,000 = £87.50 interest

A High Street Bank Nationwide offering a fixed term bond.

Nationwide
1 year term @ 4% ... paid on maturity ------ online
2 year term @ 4.50% paid on maturity --- -- online
3 year term @ 4.75% paid on maturity -- --- online

Personally I would not go above the 1 year term, then hope for better
interest rates on maturity, then invest again.
