The UK destroyed a lot of wealth (at least for the middle class and below) through Brexit for starters.
Brexit being weirdly absent from the article. Funny that.
It was obviously all because of woke and the transgenders.
Do not forget immigrants. /s
Especially all those poor Polish people who come to the UK for a better life!
They went back with all the wealth!! /s
Yeah I was just thinking it must be Brexit. Poland probably didn’t grow that fast, but UK decided to shoot itself in the foot to level the playing field.
Looking at the GDP graph though, it looks like UK has been lagging behind since 2010. Can’t really blame Brexit for all that.
It’s right wing politics
2010 the Tories came into power and tried to austerity their way out of the financial crisis, which even at the time was criticised as being the wrong plan
2016 we get Brexit
2020 we had the COVID mismanagement that kept us in lockdown much longer that we’d have otherwise needed to be
2022 we get trussonomics
2024 was Rishi trying to win votes with uncosted policies
2025 our traditionally centre left party is trying to court the voters going to the far right. So we are getting more austerity
Don’t forget austerity is still happening https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme
Many countries did austerity in 2010 and yet some came out better off while UK in particular did not.
Brexit was neither the cause of, or the solution to, UKs problems. It just made everything worse.
France doing it’s best to not surpass the UK too 😑

I’m a simple man.
I see a newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch. I downvote immediatly.
GDP per capita is $24,810 vs $53,195. Although Poland’s recovery after the fall of the iron curtain is great, there is no need to exaggerate.
"In 1995 Poland’s GDP per capita was $13,600 in today’s money — about 36 per cent of Britain’s and roughly the same as Brazil’s. Today Poland’s figure is $44,500, or 81 per cent of ours. "
Look anywhere else other than the article and you’ll see that’s not true
GDP per capita =! GDP per capita PPP
You’re confusing nominal us dollars and adjusting for price and inflation, or what the OECD calls Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). This is what the article uses and is more meaningful than nominal gdp per capita.
Here’s another source. Also uses the OECD’s PPP.
I can’t read the article and I’m going by what you quoted which says:
Poland’s GDP per capita.
And I said:
GDP per capita =! GDP per capita PPP>
I think you’re the one who’s confused
You need to look at the article. That’s not my problem.
Edit: You edited in
GDP per capita =! GDP per capita PPPafter I posted my reply. What in the living fuck is wrong with you!What the fuck are you even on about? Are you mentally okay? I didn’t edit nothing but the format to make it more easily readable
the recovery from the devastations that the germans are to be accounted for before 1990 was not nothing. at all.
The Witcher sold like a lot of copies.
They should be ahead if the UK by November when the next season of the TV show comes out!
Brexit
thetimes = goilet paper regardless if you agree with the piece or not. Don’t contribute to the propagation of shitrags, ignoring them is the best way to stop them from profiting from your gaze.
Goilet paper? Bathroom tissue for non Jews?
I reject hamas. To your question, yes. Also, I reject hamas.
They make very good sausage, or, Brexit like what everyone else says.
The magic trick of making less unforced errors
