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

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.

They discuss proposals that could see the UK align with EU rules in areas such as agri-food (SPS), and what that would mean in practice for sovereignty, trade, and economic policy.

Key topics covered:

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

The implications of operating within the EU’s regulatory framework

Potential impacts on UK manufacturing, farming, and domestic regulation

Trade-offs between reduced friction with the EU and independent policymaking

The possible effect on UK trade relationships with partners including the United States

Why regulatory reform — or the lack of it — is central to the UK’s long-term growth

The conversation also explores broader questions about competitiveness, productivity, and how economic policy decisions are made in the UK.

This is a detailed, policy-focused discussion aimed at unpacking one of the most important — and least understood — areas of the current UK-EU relationship.
