## Resource

Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński joins Liz Truss after being barred from entering the United Kingdom ahead of a planned speaking appearance. Tarczyński says his UK travel authorisation was cancelled by the Home Office without a clear explanation or right of appeal, and he accuses Keir Starmer’s government of targeting political opponents rather than defending free speech. In this explosive interview, Tarczyński responds to the ban, rejects being branded “far right,” and says he is preparing legal action against Starmer. He argues that Britain is drifting away from democratic norms, warns that free speech is under pressure across Europe, and says conservative forces must unite against what he sees as growing political censorship and Islamist influence. Liz and Dominik discuss: Why Tarczyński says he was banned from Britain The Home Office decision to cancel his UK entry authorisation His threat of legal action against Keir Starmer Whether Britain is becoming less tolerant of political dissent The use of “far right” as a label against immigration critics Free speech, social media prosecutions and two-tier justice claims Islamism, Christian Europe and the future of the West CPAC GB, European conservatives and the fight over national sovereignty The UK government said several individuals were barred because their presence was “not conducive to the public good” ahead of the Unite the Kingdom rally in London. Tarczyński has strongly challenged the decision and says the matter is now heading towards legal action.
