Polish MEP Banned From Britain: Dominik Tarczyński Blasts Starmer’s “Attack on Democracy”
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.

Trump’s America First Fightback Is Coming for Congress | Mayor Scott Singer | The Liz Truss Show
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. This is a conversation about the future of the American right, the battle against socialism and woke politics, and whether the West can rediscover common sense.

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.

Since 1971, Your Money Has Lost 95% of Its Value
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.
