Boris Johnson (Conservative) 23,716, Vincent Lo (Labour) 18,682, Rosina Robson  (Liberal Democrat) 1,835, Elizabeth Kemp (UKIP) 1,577, Mark Kier (Green) 884
 
Conservative hold, majority 5,034 (+1,205)
Turnout: 66.87%

The former London mayor, who pulled out of the leadership race in 2016, has had his odds of being PM slashed by bookies from 66/1 to 5/1.

He said a the count it was 'early days'.


The foreign secretary's odds dived as news of the possibility of a hung parliament was announced late Thursday night.
 
It is thought Theresa May could lose the keys to Number 10 after her party lost its majority.

As Bojo picked up about 1,200 more votes in Uxbridge and South Ruislip than in 2015, UKIP suffered a loss of more than 4,700.
