Boris Johnson has succeeded in his bid for a Commons comeback after winning the seat for Uxbridge and South Ruislip in west London.

The London mayor secured the safe Conservative seat with a majority of more than 10,000 votes.

He previously served as MP for Henley for seven years before leaving to take up the City Hall reins in 2008.
