I've decided that there's just, barely, enough context in that graph (from 2014-2016) to show that UK/EU/US GDP growth actually do not normally mirror each other identically as they were doing immediately before and after the referendum, and that most of the graph relates to the pandemic period in which, frankly, all bets are off. While the UK presently sits lower than the EU there is some indication in the graph that the UK is recovering more quickly.
All in all, the FT's choice of headline here should raise an eyebrow or two because it appears to be stretching credulity just a tad.
