And Starmer plans to fix this by… keeping the UK out of the EU and single market and following the same economic polices as the Tories.
Oh, what a tragedy! the UK being overtaken by those backwards eastern poors! And why is he not comfortable with young brits leaving for Warsaw or Munich? I thought immigration is inherently a good thing and if you are against it, you’re an evil biggot or something
>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.
Not only that, but Poland has a demographic crisis, an inflation crisis, and soon probably an industrial crisis as well. And has half of the UK’s population and GDP per capita.
In order for Poland to overtake the UK it should have 2x its GDP per capita, as in, being richer than Norway, AND consistently growth at Chinese like rates for decades.
In short, it’s unadulterated horseshit.
What’s the point of articles like these other than circlejerking?
To be honest if you want to beat Poland at PPP, just build a fuck tonne of houses. WhatsApp me if you need more deets, Keir xx
But i was by labour and conservatives that importing tens of millions of people and suppressing wages would make us rich beyond our wildest dreams
The UK has a weird superiority complex about Poland. Because it sees them as the ‘nation of builders and fruit pickers’. Fact is, Poland deserves every ounce of its success which has been a long time coming. It’s had decades of gradual investment in infrastructure, education, and a population that was willing to travel far and wide for employment and learning opportunities. Now it’s reaping the benefits. Meanwhile the UK has been withering under austerity and a preference for London financial services over the actual people who live here.
And yet no one’s dying at sea to get to poland. Keep gaslighting.
Both Labour and and the Tories are and were always anti european . So this hopefully comes true .

Starmer: ‘With Labour, we will not go back into the EU. We will not be joining the single market. We will not be joining a customs union. We will not return to freedom of movement…’
Same tory bs, but from, ahem, ‘different’ party
Lol sure.
>He is set to add: “I don’t want a Britain where young people in our great towns and cities are left with no option but to get out.
>”A brain drain, not just to London or Edinburgh, but to Lyon, Munich and Warsaw. That’s not the future our country deserves.”
lmao it doesn’t feel nice when the shoe is on the other foot, does it Sir Keir?
Brexit
British plumbers will be welcome in Poland. How the turns have tabled…
Poland to be the 6th biggest economy well done i guess.
* “OVER THE NEXT FEW DECADES”
​
It’s important to mention that, right now, a lot of the goods in Poland are more expensive than in countries of our Western neighbors (or at the same price) – which comes as a shock since the average salary is ~50%-40% of Western countries.
​
It is not all ‘rise and shine’ here.
Well maybe the Polish will let British truck drivers in!!!!
I for one welcome the British skilled labourers about to build some roads near Wrocław for less than minimal wage /s
As a Pole this made me almost burst in laughter.
I mean, despite weird choices I wish Britain all the best and if we can surpass them by becoming even better economy, why not. But not because their “trajectory” is this bad (it isn’t). It’s a fairy tale anyway.
The revenge of Polish migrants in the UK getting racial abuse by Brits. Who’s laughing now…
Almost every country in eastern Europe will overtake the UK in the next 15-20 years.
GDP means fuck all when you can’t get an ambulance, or a doctor, have shit in the rivers, and empty shelves in supermarkets.
With the highest energy bills in the world, double mortgage rates, the dumbest politicians in history, and no industry left, the UK is on the path to becoming the sick man of Europe, again.
It’s a well known fact that countries like Poland will take approximately 1 to 2 generations to get up to speed. It’s been 30 years already [almost 2 generations]. No sensationalism here. Britain is just one of the countries to experience this.
And is this a bad thing?
Another Poland circlejerk post, oh yeaaa
Trajectory and ranking is not the same. I dont see Poland being top 10 worldwide economy. It would have to overtake Italia, Russia and France before passing UK.
China – becoming the #1 largest global economy
Poland – Powerful central european state
Germany – Allied with Poland in a war
Ukraine – exists separate from Moscow
Britain – backwater
​
The world is going back to the good old Medieval Order.
Saxony-Lithuania for the win.
Ha! We told you to invest in Eastern Poland!
Lol, now Brit’s can come work in Poland !
He makes it seem like it is a bad thing to be compared to Poland
And all Starmer’s rightwing Labour are offering is more reheated Thatcherism/Reaganomic neolib ideology/”solutions”…So how exactly is Starmer going to rectify Britain’s downward economic trajectory and improve the living standards of the common people?..
Ok. So……. It happens
Oh no, not Poland, that awful country where over 80% of households are owned by their residents (vs 65%), or where the murder rate is 0.7/100k (vs 1.12).
This is so terrible, another country doing better.
If that ever comes true it would be the funniest shit ever.

There is a silent “even” in that headline.

Using IMF or WB forecast data as a basis for forecast is flawed considering IMF/WB have been [wrong in the past with their forecasts](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-06-08/lagarde-says-imf-got-it-wrong-on-rallying-u-k-economy).
The UK had the highest growth rate in G7 in 2022.
