Double‑pay problem — Britain pays billions to extract North Sea oil and gas, then pays again to import the fuels we actually use. That’s not “energy independence,” it’s a political illusion.

If you believe climate action, a fairer tax system, stronger public services, proportional representation, and closer ties with Europe should be higher priorities, the Green Party may be worth a look at the next General Election. #VoteGreen

One reason some voters are turning to the Green Party is that they combine environmental policies with proposals on housing, healthcare, public transport, and democratic reform. They offer a distinct vision for Britain's future. 🌱

The Green Party's message is simple: invest in people, protect the environment, strengthen public services, and build a fairer economy. For voters looking beyond the traditional parties, that's worth serious consideration. #GeneralElection

I'll consider the Green Party at the next election because they consistently champion environmental protection, electoral reform, social justice,& closer cooperation with our European neighbours. Whether you agree or disagree, they're bringing issues into the debate that other parties often ignore.

If you're looking for something different at the next General Election, the Green Party offers policies focused on tackling climate change, investing in public services, reducing inequality, and building a more sustainable economy. For many voters, that's a positive alternative to politics as usual

Farage is a sitting MP and yet he is allowed to have his own show on GB News. More than 8,000 people have signed the petition to demand that Ofcom take immediate action. Help us reach 10,000 signatures. 📊

So, Tories would cancel Erasmus and youth mobility, scrap the SPS deal that reduces red tape, lowers costs and eases backlogs for goods trade and renege on our new energy, defence and security arrangements… Ridiculous threat, ridiculous party, ridiculous people…

Tories would reverse steps to undo Brexit

Funny. I cannot recall any "diplomat" seeing their net worth rise by roughly 📈 $100 million to $200 million since taking the position. Yet Jared Kushner has. So, spare me any BS about his job description. It has nothing to do with diplomacy.

The biggest risk after a heavy defeat is assuming voters were wrong. The smartest response is to ask why so many people who once supported you decided to look elsewhere. That is where political recovery begins.

williamdunn.bsky.social @williamdunn.bsky.social · 21h

Democracy works best when parties learn from defeat as well as victory. Any party that treats an election result as an error by the electorate rather than feedback from the electorate is missing an opportunity to improve.

000

williamdunn.bsky.social @williamdunn.bsky.social · 21h

Parties earn second chances by showing they have changed. If the Conservatives want to rebuild support, many voters will want evidence that the concerns expressed at the ballot box have actually been heard.

000

williamdunn.bsky.social @williamdunn.bsky.social · 23h

The lesson of a major electoral defeat should be humility. A willingness to acknowledge mistakes is often a greater sign of strength than insisting everything was right despite the verdict delivered by voters.

000

williamdunn.bsky.social @williamdunn.bsky.social · 23h

Many voters wanted competence, stability and honest government. If the Conservatives want to regain trust, they may need to spend less time relitigating old battles and more time showing they understand why that trust was lost.

000

williamdunn.bsky.social @williamdunn.bsky.social · 23h

Election defeats can be valuable if they force parties to listen. The question facing the Conservatives is whether they see their defeat as a message from voters or merely as an unfortunate interruption.

000

williamdunn.bsky.social @williamdunn.bsky.social · 23h

Political renewal starts with recognising where things went wrong. A party that spends more time defending every decision it made in government than understanding why voters rejected it risks learning nothing from defeat.

000

williamdunn.bsky.social @williamdunn.bsky.social · 23h

If a party loses power after years of stagnant growth, pressure on public services, political instability and declining public trust, the first step should be reflection. Too often, the Conservatives seem determined to repeat old arguments rather than learn from old mistakes.

000

williamdunn.bsky.social @williamdunn.bsky.social · 23h

The Conservatives suffered one of the worst electoral defeats in their history. Yet too many in the party seem more interested in blaming voters, circumstances and opponents than honestly examining the decisions that led to that result.

Supporting closer ties with Europe isn't just about the future. It's also about improving quality of life today for millions of older Britons who value easy travel, strong consumer rights and international cooperation. 🇪🇺🇬🇧

Retirement should be about freedom and choice. The easier it is to visit family, travel across Europe, or spend extended periods abroad, the more options retirees have for enjoying later life. #Rejoin

williamdunn.bsky.social @williamdunn.bsky.social · 23h

A stronger economy benefits pensioners as much as workers. Higher investment, increased trade and improved economic growth could help provide a more secure future for public services that older people rely on.

I support rejoining the EU because I want British pensioners to enjoy the same opportunities for travel, residence and cultural exchange that previous generations took for granted. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Retired people know the value of international cooperation. Whether it's healthcare research, medicines, security, or tackling cross-border crime, working closely with our European neighbours helps everyone, regardless of age.

Many pensioners have children and grandchildren who want to study, work or live elsewhere in Europe. Rejoining the EU could reopen opportunities for future generations while benefiting today's retirees too.

williamdunn.bsky.social @williamdunn.bsky.social · 23h

Rejoining the EU would not just benefit young people. Retirees could gain from easier travel, stronger consumer protections, and closer coordination on healthcare and medicines across Europe. #EU

williamdunn.bsky.social @williamdunn.bsky.social · 23h

Older people often depend on stable prices and secure incomes. If closer economic ties with Europe helped boost growth and reduce trade barriers, that could help keep living costs down over the long term.

Many retired Britons dream of spending part of the year in Spain, France, Portugal or Greece. Rejoining the EU could restore freedoms and simplify arrangements that became more difficult after Brexit. #RejoinEU

As a pensioner, I'd welcome the UK rejoining the EU. Easier travel, fewer barriers for long stays in Europe, and stronger cooperation on healthcare could make retirement more enjoyable and less complicated. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

williamdunn.bsky.social @williamdunn.bsky.social · 23h

The question for me isn't whether the UK should have a relationship with Europe. We always will. The question is whether we want influence over decisions that affect us. That's one reason I'd support a party committed to rejoining the EU. #RejoinBritain

williamdunn.bsky.social @williamdunn.bsky.social · 23h

Patriotism means wanting the best future for your country. For me, that includes rebuilding our place at the heart of Europe, strengthening our economy and giving future generations opportunities across a continent of 450 million people.

williamdunn.bsky.social @williamdunn.bsky.social · 23h

I would vote for a party that supports EU membership because I believe closer economic integration means more growth, more jobs, more consumer choice and stronger protections for workers, travellers and consumers. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Rejoining the EU would not erase British identity, traditions or sovereignty. Britain was proudly British before joining the EU and remained British while a member. Cooperation with neighbours does not diminish who we are.

Young people have lost opportunities to study, work and build careers across Europe. I would vote for a party that wants to restore those opportunities and strengthen Britain's links with the next generation of Europeans. #RejoinEU

I don't support rejoining the EU because I think the EU is perfect. I support it because I believe cooperation delivers better outcomes than isolation, and because Britain's future prosperity is tied closely to our European neighbours.

The challenges we face, from climate change to security and organised crime, do not stop at national borders. Working closely with our European partners gives Britain more tools to tackle problems that affect us all. #EU

I would support a party committed to EU membership because I believe Britain is more influential when it has a seat at the table helping make European decisions rather than simply adapting to rules made elsewhere. #Rejoin

I want the right to live, work, study and retire anywhere in Europe restored. Freedom of movement benefited millions of ordinary people. Rejoining the EU would reopen opportunities that Brexit took away. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

I would vote for a party that pledges to take Britain back into the EU because I believe our economy is stronger when we work with our closest neighbours. More trade, more investment, more opportunities for young people, and fewer barriers for British businesses. #RejoinEU

The true cost of public services is not money itself but the real resources required to provide them: doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers, buildings, medicines and energy. Money is the accounting system used to mobilise those resources.

williamdunn.bsky.social @williamdunn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Taxes matter enormously. The argument is not "taxes are unnecessary." The argument is that taxes serve economic and social purposes beyond funding expenditure, including controlling inflation and addressing inequality.
