The hard work starts now, I won’t let you down, says Danny Beales in his acceptance speech. Steve Tuckwell now on stage giving a thank you speech to his team and congratulating Danny Beales. #election

[Hillingdonheadofnews @Hillingdonhead1]

I calculate Danny Beales won by 587 votes in Ux & S Ruislip but my maths may be a bit askew at 6.50am. #election

[Hillingdonheadofnews @Hillingdonhead1]

Labour’s Danny Beales wins by a few hundred votes to take the Uxbridge & S Ruislip seat from Steve Tuckwell. #election

[Hillingdon Council @Hillingdon]

A recount for Labour and Conservative votes has been called for Uxbridge and South Ruislip. We will update with results as soon as they come in.

We are now undergoing another recount for Uxbridge & South Ruislip. It is very close and very tense. #election
