‘Things can’t get worse’: Wrexham turns Tory amid Welsh Labour losses
Seat held by Labour since 1935 was one of six to switch to Conservatives
There was jubilation among Conservatives in Wales as the party achieved its best results since the heyday of Margaret Thatcher, even winning in once rock-solid Labour seats such as Wrexham, which has never before returned a Tory MP.
Labour remained the biggest party in Wales with 22 of the 40 seats, down six on 2017, while the Tories were up six on 14. Plaid Cymru held on to its four seats.
