## Resource

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.
