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.

On this episode of The Liz Truss Show, Liz Truss is joined by former government adviser Radomir Tylecote to unpack the growing controversy surrounding Keir Starmer, Peter Mandelson, and the explosive claims emerging from Olly Robbins’ appearance before a parliamentary select committee.

The discussion explores:

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?
