Britain's economic trajectory will soon see it overtaken by Poland, Labour to warn
Britain's economy could fall behind that of Poland by the end of the decade, the Labour Party will say today.
The party's leader Sir Keir Starmer will use the forecast - which is based on World Bank data - to appeal for voter support in the next general election. Labour's calculations are based on the assumption that the UK's gross domestic product per capita continues to grow at an average of 0.5% annually in real terms, as it did between 2010 and 2021.
The data shows that GDP per capita in 2021 was $44,979 in Britain and $34,915 in Poland, and Labour will say that Poland - should it maintain its 3.6% average annual growth - will overtake Britain by 2030.According to a pre-briefed extract of his speech, Sir Keir will say:"We need to be frank about the path of decline the Tories have set our country on.
"The British people are falling behind while our European neighbours get richer, in the east as well as in countries like France and Germany.
