Dear Sir, I was quite surprised, after finding out through your paper, that our MP, Mr Wilson, had held a meeting in Newton Aycliffe, but not surprised that the majority of people knew anything about it, but this is Mr Wilson’s style as we have come to know. At this meeting, from what I can gather, the majority of people still wanted to leave the EU, but Mr Wilson still said that he knows best after receiving a few emails from people now wanting to change from leaving to staying, but as usual nothing to back it up. His mandate now was not for a people’s vote on whether to leave or stay, but for a referendum with only two options accept Mrs May’s agreement or stay in the EU. This tends to vary depending which media statement Mr Wilson has made. Initially, as he told us all, he wanted to work with his constituents and leave the EU, till just over a year ago, after a secret meeting with undisclosed people, he suddenly changed his mind and became a staunch remainer. We only found out through a letter in the press, followed up by a second one including six other local Labour MP’s. The next information was a brexit statement in our local free paper with his own personal thoughts on why we should not leave the EU. He stated if any of his constituents wanted to reply to the statement he was available for comment. I personally did this, raising a few questions, one being when was he going to face his constituents and a few comments on the facts he had put in the statement. After waiting a few weeks for a reply I emailed him again with the original and asked if he would reply to me; still waiting. So I can only presume as I still wanted to leave the EU it would not be of any interest to him and that is why I was surprised when I learned about the meeting, but not about his outcome. It would seem that he is listening to other people outside his constituency and not his constituents. Maybe his next move in the party will be like his predecessor and confidant and stand as leader of the party, as his only cry is about a people’s vote so why does he not stand by his beliefs and as so many of his constituents have asked him to resign and stand again on his mandate and see if the people of this constituency will give him the go ahead to do as he likes.
