Robert Collins does a back of the envelope calculation for Monzo’s premium account economics.

Wonder what the Monzo Premium unit economics look like 🤔

£15 p/m, min 6 months = £90 revenue

Card cost = £50
P&P say £5
Interest at 1.5% up to £2k for 6 months = £15

Leaves ~£20 / 6 months = £3.33pm left for the insurances.

Andy Verity comments on the triple lock pension rise in the thread here.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies calculate that, after the 2.5% triple-lock rise (5 x the latest rate of inflation), the state pension will now have risen in 11 years by 41%, vs a 22% rise in earnings. Pensioners are now better off relative to the wider population than ever.

UK borrowing has now surpassed the level it was during World War 2.

'Worst' in a phantasmic sense only. Debt interest to revenue south of 4% for the first time in modern history. The longest average weighted maturity of any government bond market in the advanced world. UK has many real problems to focus on without conjuring them up. https://t.co/RBhGv0kM1L pic.twitter.com/nvAX10REIb
