Britain’s economy is stuck in a doom loop: high taxes, weak growth, rising debt interest costs, and sky-high energy prices — while businesses and wealth creators increasingly look abroad.

In this episode of The Liz Truss Show, Liz is joined by Daily Telegraph columnist and economist Liam Halligan to discuss why a fiscal crisis is a plausible outcome if current trends continue — and what global markets are signalling about the UK’s public finances.

Then Liz speaks to Adam Brooks, a pub landlord and commentator, on what these policies look like in real life: rising costs, customers squeezed by the cost-of-living crisis, and local businesses fighting to survive.
