Boris Johnson has won his parliamentary seat, increasing his majority.
The Prime Minister was one of a number of big beasts thought to be at risk but Tory activists had been convinced they had held on to the London marginal.
Mr Johnson went into the election with a majority of just 5,034 in Uxbridge and Ruislip in Greater London.
He increased that majority to 7,210 - securing 25,351 votes, ahead of his Labour rival on 18,141.
Speaking after the result was announced, Mr Johnson said: "At this stage it does look as though this one-nation Conservative government has been given a powerful new mandate, to get Brexit done and not just to get Brexit done but to unite this country and to take it forward.
"I think this will turn out to be a historic election that gives us now, in this new government, the chance to respect the democratic will of the British people.
"To change this country for the better and to unleash the potential of the entire people of this country."
"That is what we will now do, and if we are lucky enough to be returned as the exit poll seems to suggest then that work will begin ... today."
Earlier this year it was thought Johnson might not even stand in Uxbridge after the Conservative party marked this seat as “at risk” with rumours he could move to a much safer Tory constituency such as Sevenoaks in Kent.
