Tuckwell won the seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip in the by-election held on 20 July 2023 following the resignation of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who had represented the seat for the Conservatives since 2015.[6]
He is reported to have described the by-election as a "referendum on ULEZ", referring to the proposed expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone supported by Labour Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.[2] The Labour candidate for the by-election, Danny Beales, has since criticised the policy.[7]

Tuckwell lives in Hillingdon with his partner, Rachel, and his two children.[2][4]
