Barrister Steven Barrett joins Liz Truss to explain why he believes Britain’s legal system is broken — and why the problem goes far deeper than bad laws.

In this explosive conversation, Barrett argues that Britain now has too many laws, badly written legislation, overmighty regulators, an unaccountable bureaucracy, and a constitutional settlement reshaped by Blair-era reforms. From Ofcom and “due impartiality” to the Human Rights Act, ECHR, EU law, the Lord Chancellor, the Supreme Court, the civil service and the power of unelected officials, this is a forensic discussion about who really governs Britain.

Liz and Steven discuss whether Parliament has lost control, why Conservative governments failed to reverse the Blair/Brown settlement, how regulators and quangos wield power, why business leaders are afraid to speak out, and what a future reforming government would need to do to restore democratic accountability.

Is Britain suffering from managed decline — or can the system still be fixed?

Lucy Connolly joins The Liz Truss Show to discuss her imprisonment, the state of free speech in Britain, two-tier justice, policing, Keir Starmer, Andy Burnham, immigration, the Human Rights Act, protest, the “far right” label, and why she believes ordinary people need to start speaking out.

After being jailed over a tweet, Lucy has become one of the most recognisable voices in Britain’s free speech debate. In this interview, she reflects on prison, the courts, the police, media coverage, public support, and her new book, A Tweet Too Far.

This is a conversation about more than one case. It is about whether Britain still protects free speech, whether justice is being applied equally, and whether the silent majority is prepared to push back.

Liz Truss is joined by Australian Senator Bridget McKenzie for a powerful conversation on the crisis facing Britain, Australia and the wider Anglosphere.

Bridget argues that Australia is now facing many of the same problems Britain has already experienced: soaring government debt, mass migration, institutional capture, net zero policies imposed on rural communities, attacks on free speech, and a political class increasingly detached from ordinary people.

They discuss Anthony Albanese’s government, the rise of anti-establishment politics, the future of the right, the impact of net zero on farmers, the importance of Western civilisation, and why family, community and national heritage must become central to the conservative fightback.

Is Australia following Britain into decline — or are both countries finally waking up?

Liz Truss sits down with Jonathan Schanzer of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) to discuss the rapidly evolving situation in Iran, the future of the Iranian regime, Israel's security concerns, and Donald Trump's controversial memorandum of understanding with Tehran.

Has the West secured peace, or handed Iran billions of dollars that could strengthen its military, nuclear ambitions and regional proxies?

Political commentator June Slater joins the show to discuss the crucial Makerfield by-election, where Reform UK is hoping to build on recent electoral successes and challenge Labour in one of its traditional strongholds.

Drawing on her experience campaigning on the ground, June shares what voters are telling her, the popularity of Reform candidate Robert Lomas, Labour's campaign strategy, and why Andy Burnham's political future could be tied to the result.

The conversation explores Labour's declining support, Reform UK's growing presence across northern communities, voter frustration with the political establishment, immigration, local government performance, and what the outcome could mean for Keir Starmer, Andy Burnham, Nigel Farage, and the next General Election.

Is Makerfield a warning sign for Labour? Can Reform convert local momentum into parliamentary success? And could Andy Burnham emerge as Labour's future leader?

Liz Truss sits down with Brian Welker, Board Member of Turning Point USA, to discuss whether Britain can still be saved.

Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński joins Liz Truss after being barred from entering the United Kingdom ahead of a planned speaking appearance. Tarczyński says his UK travel authorisation was cancelled by the Home Office without a clear explanation or right of appeal, and he accuses Keir Starmer’s government of targeting political opponents rather than defending free speech.

In this explosive interview, Tarczyński responds to the ban, rejects being branded “far right,” and says he is preparing legal action against Starmer. He argues that Britain is drifting away from democratic norms, warns that free speech is under pressure across Europe, and says conservative forces must unite against what he sees as growing political censorship and Islamist influence.

Liz and Dominik discuss:

Why Tarczyński says he was banned from Britain

The Home Office decision to cancel his UK entry authorisation

His threat of legal action against Keir Starmer

Whether Britain is becoming less tolerant of political dissent

The use of “far right” as a label against immigration critics

Free speech, social media prosecutions and two-tier justice claims

Islamism, Christian Europe and the future of the West

CPAC GB, European conservatives and the fight over national sovereignty

The UK government said several individuals were barred because their presence was “not conducive to the public good” ahead of the Unite the Kingdom rally in London. Tarczyński has strongly challenged the decision and says the matter is now heading towards legal action.

Liz Truss is joined by Scott Singer, former Boca Raton mayor and Republican congressional candidate in Florida’s newly redrawn 25th District, to discuss the coming midterms, President Trump’s America First agenda, the fight to secure the border, and why Congress must do more than chase viral clips.

Singer argues that Trump’s tax cuts, deregulation, border policy and energy agenda are resonating with voters — but warns that Congress must turn executive orders into lasting law. He also discusses free speech, the radicalisation of the Democratic Party, antisemitism, immigration, the Washington swamp, and why America’s midterm elections matter far beyond the United States.

Florida’s congressional map was recently redrawn and signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis, with Scott Singer pivoting his campaign to Florida’s 25th District following the changes.

In this episode, Liz Truss is joined by property expert Russell Quirk to break down the real causes of the UK housing crisis — and why both Labour and Conservative policies have made things worse.

Quirk explains how tax changes, regulation, and the upcoming Renters Reform agenda are driving landlords out of the market, reducing housing supply and pushing rents higher. With tens of thousands of landlords exiting the sector, tenants are now facing fewer choices and rising costs.

The discussion covers:

The impact of the Renters Reform Bill and EPC regulations

Why government intervention is inflating house prices

How schemes like Help to Buy increased demand but failed to boost supply

The role of the Bank of England and money printing in asset inflation

Why young people are being locked out of home ownership

The influence of bureaucracies like Homes England and the Climate Change Committee

How immigration and housing supply pressures intersect

Why both major parties have failed to solve the crisis

They also explore broader political themes, including:

The rise of anti-landlord sentiment

The role of local government and “the blob” in blocking reform

Why housing policy is driven by short-term politics, not long-term solutions

Liz Truss is joined by Lord Toby Young, founder of the Free Speech Union, to discuss Britain’s growing free speech crisis, cancel culture, political policing, online speech arrests, and why the UK may need its own version of America’s First Amendment.

Toby reflects on his own cancellation in 2018, how it led to the creation of the Free Speech Union, and what his organisation has learned from thousands of cases involving people disciplined, investigated or arrested for lawful speech.

They discuss the rise of cancel culture, the role of the police in investigating social media posts, the impact of the Online Safety Act, free speech concerns around CPAC GB, and whether US pressure through trade deals could help protect civil liberties in Britain.

This is a wide-ranging conversation about liberty, censorship, political intimidation, cancel culture, policing, and the future of free expression in the UK and across the English-speaking world.

On this episode of The The Liz Truss Show, Liz Truss is joined by Jordan Walker, founder of the Bitcoin Collective, to examine what has gone wrong with Britain’s economy — and why the problem may lie at the very core of our monetary system.

Since the UK abandoned the gold standard in 1971, the pound has steadily lost purchasing power, with inflation, asset price inflation, and widening inequality reshaping the economic landscape. For younger generations, the traditional path — education, work, home ownership — is becoming increasingly out of reach.

This conversation explores:

How fiat currency and central bank policy have reshaped the economy

The real impact of quantitative easing and money supply expansion

Why housing affordability has collapsed for younger generations

The lack of scrutiny around monetary policy in mainstream media

How Bitcoin introduces scarcity and challenges state control of money

Why businesses — not governments — may drive financial change

As debate grows over the role of the state, economic growth, and financial freedom, this episode asks a fundamental question:

Is the system broken — or is it working exactly as designed?

What is CPAC — and how did it become one of the most powerful forces in global conservative politics?

On this episode of The Liz Truss Show, Liz is joined by Mercedes Schlapp — host of CPAC News and former White House Director of Strategic Communications — to break down the rise of the conservative movement in the United States and beyond.

From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, CPAC has played a central role in shaping modern conservatism — not just in America, but across countries like Argentina, Hungary and Poland.

Liz and Mercedes discuss:

How CPAC helped unite the global conservative movement

The rise of grassroots political activism and the MAGA movement

Why conservatives struggle with unity compared to the left

The role of donors, media and institutions in shaping political power

Concerns over free speech, immigration and government overreach

The growing influence of bureaucracy and the “deep state”

Why movements — not just political parties — are key to winning elections

They also explore the ideological battle between nationalism, sovereignty and globalism — and what it means for the future of Britain, the United States and Western democracy.

With CPAC expanding internationally, including CPAC GB in London, this conversation looks at how conservative ideas are being organised, exported and contested on a global stage.

Whether Starmer was fully informed about Mandelson’s security vetting

Claims of “constant pressure” inside government decision-making

The expanding power of the UK civil service — often referred to as “the blob”

How legislation like the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010 reshaped accountability

Why ministers may lack control over key decisions affecting national security

From Whitehall processes to democratic accountability, this episode asks a bigger question: who really runs Britain?

What is “dynamic alignment” — and why does it matter for Britain’s future outside the EU?

In this episode of The Liz Truss Show, Liz is joined by trade policy expert Shanker Singham to examine the UK government’s approach to regulatory alignment with the European Union.

Key topics covered:

What “dynamic alignment” actually involves in legal and regulatory terms

The implications of operating within the EU’s regulatory framework
