UK seems basically flat: https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/grossdomesticproductgdp/timeseries/crxx/ukea https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/grossdomesticproductgdp/times... I can't find corresponding US numbers?

By “flat” you mean “similar” ?Because your link shows approx 22% increase.

  .. since 1955. You need to adjust the date range to match.

    No. Since 2004. Since 1955 it’s way more than 22%.

That shows a 21% increase. However, its not the same number at all. it is median real disposable income per head (person), whereas the the EU number is mean real income per household. I think it is probably correct to say the UK has broadly speaking performed about as well as obvious peers such as France and Germany over the last 20 years, but its not greater performance for any of them.
