Anti-Boris Johnson Protesters Clashed With Police

Sore loser demonstrators descended on Whitehall, central London waving flags and placards around and shouting 'not my Prime Minister' just hours after Mr Johnson pledged to heal the divisions of Brexit, as he returned to Downing Street after securing a crushing General Election victory over Labour.

The anti-Boris protesters clashed with police in London his evening after taking to the streets in a 'f*** Boris* protest just hours after his emphatic election win.

But despite almost 14million people voting in favour of Mr Johnson's government, the comparatively tiny crowd, seemingly unable to get over the election result, become embroiled in violent clashes with the police.

It came after they were heard chanting slogans including 'to hell with Boris Johnson' and 'Boris, no, no, no'.

Dozens have called out the protesters for taking to the streets so soon after polls closed, and ridiculing them for thinking they will 'overthrow' the Prime Minister with such a small number.

Whitehall has been closed down as the protesters, surrounded by police, caused chaos in the area. Hundreds of protesters were also at Trafalgar Square where clashes broke out with police.

A heavy police presence was seen close to the Cenotaph in Whitehall, which was cordoned off as the clashes broke out. Demonstrators carrying placards with the slogans 'No to Boris Johnson', 'No to Racism' and 'Defy Tory Rule' cried out 'Oh Jeremy Corbyn' and let off red smoke flares during angry protests. 

They travelled down Whitehall before moving towards Millbank and Horseferry Road, shouting 'the people, united, we will never be defeated'.

As scuffles broke out, police were overheard shouting 'box them in' as they tried to contain the crowds with a cordon. The Metropolitan Police said an arrest had been made for criminal damage.   

Protesters also cried 'Save our NHS' as police sealed them in on Victoria Street. They sat on the floor as officers formed a line to block off the scene.
