Uxbridge and South Ruislip is a constituency[n 1] in Greater London represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since its 2010 creation. The seat has been held by Danny Beales of the Labour Party since July 2024.
From 2015 to 2023, the seat was held by former Prime Minister (2019–2022) Boris Johnson, of the Conservative Party. Johnson won the seat in 2015 with a majority of 10,695. In 2017, as Foreign Secretary, he won a narrower majority of 5,034 votes. In 2019, as Prime Minister, he won an increased majority of 7,210. Johnson formally resigned in June 2023 after receiving a copy of the Standard Committee's report into Partygate, which recommended a recall petition.[2] The subsequent by-election was won by Conservative candidate Steve Tuckwell, who then lost the seat to Beales in the 2024 general election.
An estimate by the House of Commons Library puts the "Leave" vote by the constituency in the 2016 referendum at 57.2%.
