Britain on track to be poorer than Poland by the end of the decade, warns Keir Starmer

BRITAIN is on track to be poorer than Poland by the end of the decade, Sir Keir Starmer will say today.

The Labour chief will use yet another speech to try and lay out his vision for Britain – claiming he would lick start growth and boost the economy.

He said Brits should judge him on whether or not they “feel better off” after five years of a Labour government – despite being nowhere near getting the keys to No10.

He will say that Labour’s plan to achieve the highest sustained growth in the G7 will lead Britain out of the Tories’ “low wage, high tax, doom-loop.”

And he will cite analysis which says Brits will be even worse off than people in Eastern Europe if the Tories win again.

Sir Keir will say: “ The British people are falling behind while our European neighbours get richer.

“In the East as well as in countries like France and Germany. I’m not comfortable with that.

“Not comfortable with a trajectory that will soon see Britain overtaken by Poland.”

But last night the Tories hit back – saying Labour left the economy in tatters when they left office.

Conservative Party Chairman Greg Hands said: “The last time Labour left office, there was no money left, debt was spiralling, and unemployment soared – something the British people will never forget.

“Everyone already knows what Labour would do to the economy – with £90billion of unfunded spending, that would just lead to endless boring and higher debt.

“Starmer’s Labour ARE too weak to stand up for the British people, let alone bring forward a credible plan for the economy.”
