Recount is complete and the candidates are gathering to hear the result. Fingers crossed.

[Rory Bennett @RPKBennett_Ldn]

Looks like it’s going for a full recount. Stay tuned folks.

[Rory Bennett @RPKBennett_Ldn]

Spoke too soon. Looks like another recount. Rumours are that the first count and the recount gave two different results.

[Rory Bennett @RPKBennett_Ldn]

Don’t get your hopes up, but the Uxbridge and South Ruislip candidates have been called up to the adjudicators once again which could mean a result is coming shortly.

[Rory Bennett @RPKBennett_Ldn]

Nervous recount is still going on but Danny Beales and his team don’t look too confident.

[Rory Bennett @RPKBennett_Ldn]

Conservatives victor David Simmonds acknowledges: ‘it’s been a very difficult night for our party.’

Before wishing Steve Tuckwell luck.

Sarah Green, Green Party candidate for Uxbridge and South Ruislip said of the election: ‘I think people have been quite confused. Not sure who to vote for.

‘Cost of living is the main thing for young people, climate change - people who are worried there won’t be a planet…
