The following tweet was posted yesterday by the Labour MP for Wrexham - Ian Lucas. At the time of writing he hasn't deleted it and it's still there for all to see.
Lucas has come a long way from his council house roots in Gateshead. He had an impressive legal career before he was selected to contest the Wrexham constituency in 2001. But no matter how far he has elevated himself above his working class roots, he is an arrogant fool to dismiss his constituents in such a condescending manner. Wrexham is far from a safe seat for Labour, although it was a different story back in 2001...
When Lucas first won the seat he commanded a majority of 9,188 over the Conservatives. His majority is now 1,832 over the Conservatives. His majority was slashed by over 5,000 votes between 2001 and 2010, a downward trend that only ended in 2017 when his majority increased by just one vote.
Wrexham is a 58% Leave-voting constituency and has been held by Labour since 1935. This week Lucas voted to block no deal and to extend Article 50. If he wants to be the MP that loses this seat after almost a century he is going the right way about it.
