Watch: Shapps reaction after he’s asked whether making Britain poorer than Slovenia is an ‘election winning slogan’

Research shows the average Slovenian household will be better off than its British counterpart by 2024 - around the time of the next election.

Grant Shapps had a rough ride on the Andrew Neil show after he was challenged on the Conservative’s record after 13 years in power.

Research revealed last year that the average family in countries such as Poland and Slovenia will be better off than a UK household by the end of the decade.

The FT’s John Burn-Murdoch crunched the numbers on wealth inequality in the US and UK, finding that both countries have become “poor societies with some very rich people”.

Those in the bottom percentile have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries in western Europe.

NEW: income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia https://t.co/gtHvhNsnuT

Essentially, US & UK are poor societies with some very rich people.

The analysis shows that the average Slovenian household will be better off than its British counterpart by 2024, while the average Polish family will move ahead before the end of the decade.

Discussing the Conservative’s record in government on Channel 4, Andrew Neil put the research to Shapps, prompting a pretty awkward reaction.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
