    UK Housing Crisis EXPOSED: Russell Quirk on Renters Reform, Landlord Exodus & Why Prices Keep Rising

    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 What upcoming local elections in Essex and beyond could reveal about public sentiment This is a deep dive into why housing in Britain is becoming increasingly unaffordable — and who is responsible.

    Britain Needs a First Amendment Before Free Speech Disappears | Lord Toby Young

    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.

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.

    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. 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? bitcoin uk, britain economy crisis, fiat currency explained, inflation uk 2026, housing crisis uk, why houses expensive uk, money printing explained, quantitative easing uk, bank of england inflation, bitcoin vs fiat, bitcoin adoption uk, financial freedom bitcoin, uk economic decline, central banks explained, pound devaluation, bitcoin collective, jordan walker bitcoin, liz truss show economy, uk cost of living crisis, asset inflation uk, sound money debate.
