Not sure if absolute economy size is really relevant. You could have 20 billion really poor people. You could have 19.9999 really poor people and one really rich one. I would consider both of those poor.
Which goes to my point: the title is explicitly saying the UK is a "poor country" which is what makes it silly. You want to write an article about poor income distribution, that's fine, but your title should say that.
On the same note, the gini index is a kind of inequality measure. If your definition for "poor country" is one with uneven income distribution then the US is one of the poorest countries in the world. Like I don't know, I just don't feel like this definition of "poor" works.
