The UK has tumbled down the league of affluent nations after almost a decade of welfare cuts and stagnant incomes, according to a report that found the poorest districts in Britain now rank below the lowest-income areas of France, Malta and Slovenia.

The National Institute of Economic and Social Research said the UK’s reputation for high living standards was under threat.
