<br>Britain is on course to ending up being a 'second tier' European country like Spain or Italy due to economic decline and a weak military that undermines its usefulness to allies, a specialist has cautioned.<br>
<br>Research professor Dr Azeem Ibrahim OBE concluded in a [damning](https://29sixservices.in/industry/) new report that the U.K. has been paralysed by low financial investment, high tax and misdirected policies that could see it lose its standing as a top-tier middle power at current growth rates.<br>
<br>The plain assessment weighed that successive government failures in guideline and bring in investment had actually caused Britain to miss out on out on the 'industries of the future' courted by established economies.<br>
<br>'Britain no longer has the industrial base to logistically sustain a war with a near-peer like Russia for more than two months,' he composed in The Henry Jackson Society's most current report, Strategic Prosperity: The Case for Economic Growth as a National Security Priority.<br>
<br>The report examines that Britain is now on track to fall behind Poland in terms of per capita earnings by 2030, and that the central European country's military will quickly exceed the U.K.'s along lines of both manpower and equipment on the present trajectory.<br>
<br>'The concern is that as soon as we are reduced to a 2nd tier middle power, it's going to be practically difficult to return. Nations don't come back from this,' Dr Ibrahim informed MailOnline today.<br>
<br>'This is going to be accelerated decline unless we nip this in the bud and have bold leaders who have the ability to make the challenging decisions right now.'<br>

<br>Dr Ibrahim invited the government's choice to increase defence costs to 2.5% of GDP from April 2027, however cautioned much deeper, [systemic issues](https://29sixservices.in/) threaten to irreversibly knock the U.K. from its position as an internationally influential power.<br>
<br>With a weakening commercial base, Britain's effectiveness to its allies is now 'falling back even second-tier European powers', he warned.<br>
<br>Why WW3 is currently here ... and how the UK will require to lead in America's absence<br>
<br>'Not just is the U.K. anticipated to have a lower GDP per capita than Poland by 2030, but likewise a smaller army and one that is not able to sustain implementation at scale.'<br>
<br>This is of specific issue at a time of heightened geopolitical tension, with Britain pegged to be amongst the leading forces in Europe's rapid rearmament project.<br>
<br>'There are 230 brigades in Ukraine right now, Russian and Ukrainian. Not a single European country to mount a single heavy armoured brigade.'<br>
<br>'This is an enormous oversight on the part of subsequent governments, not simply Starmer's problem, of stopping working to buy our military and basically contracting out [security](https://29sixservices.in/attendance-leave-management/) to the United States and NATO,' he informed MailOnline.<br>
<br>'With the U.S. getting tiredness of supplying the security umbrella to Europe, Europe now needs to stand on its own and the U.K. would have been in a premium position to actually lead European defence. But none of the European countries are.'<br>
<br>Slowed defence spending and patterns of low performance are nothing new. But is now likewise 'failing to adjust' to the Trump administration's jolt to the rules-based worldwide order, said Dr Ibrahim.<br>
<br>The former advisor to the 2021 Integrated Defence and Security Review noted in the report that in spite of the 'weakening' of the institutions when 'protected' by the U.S., Britain is responding by hurting the last vestiges of its military might and financial power.<br>
<br>The U.K., he stated, 'seems to be making increasingly costly gestures' like the ₤ 9bn handover of the strategic Chagos Islands and opening talks on reparations for Caribbean Slavery.<br>

<br>Dr Jack Watling of the Royal United Services Institute defence and security believe thank cautioned at the time that 'the relocation demonstrates worrying tactical ineptitude in a world that the U.K. government refers to as being characterised by terrific power competitors'.<br>
<br>[Require](https://29sixservices.in/industry/) the U.K. to offer reparations for its historic role in the servant trade were revived also in October in 2015, though Sir Keir Starmer stated ahead of a meeting of Commonwealth nations that reparations would not be on the agenda.<br>

<br>Dr Ibhramin assessed that the U.K. seems to be acting versus its own security interests in part due to a narrow understanding of threat.<br>
<br>'We understand soldiers and rockets however stop working to fully envisage the danger that having no alternative to China's supply chains might have on our capability to react to military aggression.'<br>
<br>He recommended a brand-new security model to 'enhance the U.K.'s strategic dynamism' based on a rethink of migratory policy and danger evaluation, access to unusual earth minerals in a market controlled by China, and the prioritisation of energy security and independence by means of [investment](https://29sixservices.in/attendance-leave-management/) in North Sea gas and a long-overdue rethink on atomic energy.<br>
<br>'Without immediate policy modifications to reignite development, Britain will end up being a lessened power, reliant on more powerful allies and [vulnerable](https://29sixservices.in/industry/) to foreign coercion,' the Foreign Policy columnist said.<br>
<br>'As global financial competition magnifies, the U.K. must choose whether to accept a bold growth agenda or resign itself to irreparable decrease.'<br>
<br>Britain's commitment to the concept of Net Zero may be laudable, but the pursuit will prevent growth and obscure tactical goals, he cautioned.<br>
<br>'I am not stating that the environment is not crucial. But we merely can not afford to do this.<br>
<br>'We are a country that has actually failed to purchase our financial, in our energy facilities. And we have significant resources at our disposal.'<br>
<br>Nuclear power, consisting of using small modular reactors, could be a boon for the British economy and energy independence.<br>
<br>'But we have actually failed to commercialise them and certainly that's going to take a considerable amount of time.'<br>
<br>Britain did introduce a brand-new funding design for nuclear power stations in 2022, which lobbyists consisting of Labour politicians had actually firmly insisted was essential to finding the cash for expensive plant-building projects.<br>
<br>While Innovate UK, Britain's development firm, has been heralded for its grants for little energy-producing companies in the house, entrepreneurs have alerted a broader culture of 'threat aversion' in the U.K. suppresses financial [investment](https://29sixservices.in/industry/).<br>

<br>Britain has actually consistently stopped working to acknowledge the looming 'authoritarian danger', allowing the pattern of managed decline.<br>
<br>But the revival of autocracies on the world phase risks even more undermining the rules-based international order from which Britain 'advantages tremendously' as a globalised economy.<br>
<br>'The threat to this order ... has established partly because of the lack of a robust will to safeguard it, owing in part to ponder foreign efforts to overturn the recognition of the real hiding risk they present.'<br>
<br>The Trump administration's warning to NATO allies in Europe that they will need to do their own bidding has gone some way towards waking Britain as much as the urgency of buying defence.<br>
<br>But Dr Ibrahim cautioned that this is not enough. He urged a top-down reform of 'essentially our entire state' to bring the ossified state back to life and sustain it.<br>
<br>'Reforming the welfare state, reforming the NHS, reforming pensions - these are basically bodies that use up enormous amounts of funds and they'll just keep growing considerably,' he told MailOnline.<br>
<br>'You might double the NHS spending plan and it will really not make much of a damage. So all of this will need fundamental reform and will take a lot of courage from whomever is in power since it will make them undesirable.'<br>
<br>The report outlines recommendations in radical tax reform, pro-growth migration policies, and a restored concentrate on protecting Britain's role as a leader in state-of-the-art markets, energy security, and worldwide trade.<br>
