Danny Beales
Danny Boy Beales (born 1988) is a British politician who has been the Member of Parliament for Uxbridge and South Ruislip since 2024. A member of the Labour Party, he was previously a member of Camden London Borough Council from 2014 until his election to Parliament.
Danny Boy Beales was born in 1988 at Hillingdon Hospital. He was raised in South Ruislip by his mother, a single parent. He was made homeless twice while a teenager, both times after his mother was made redundant from work, living for a while with his grandparents in Northampton, and then in a council house in the area. He benefitted from an Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA), allowing him to complete his A-Levels. He joined the Labour Party around this time, frustrated by the financial difficulties his family faced. Beales studied politics and social policy at the London School of Economics.
Following his studies, Beales went on to work in campaigning and communications with the Labour Party.
He was first elected at the 2014 Camden London Borough Council election, and was re-elected at the next two subsequent council elections. Beales was initially elected to represent Cantelowes, unseating the ward's sole Liberal Democrat councillor. Cantelowes was abolished for the 2022 elections, and Beales was subsequently elected for the Camden Square ward. He was a governor at Torriano Primary School, on his local street.
Since his election, Beales has been one of the most high-profile councillors, with the local paper writing of him, "With an ever-expanding brief, Cllr Beales has been there for every Camden policy, every flashpoint." He is quoted nearly every week in the local press.
Beales served as Camden Council's Cabinet Member for New Homes, Jobs and Community Investment. In this role he was responsible for the Community Investment Programmes which is Camden's estate regeneration and property development programme. CIP - and Beales personally - has been criticised on a cross-party basis for failing to meet its own target for building council homes and for allowing private developers to 'seize' part of sites for their own use.
He supported adding a pedestrian crossing in Camden with the transgender flag, the first of its kind in London.
Beales resigned from being a Camden councillor on 12 July 2024, a week after being elected as an MP.
