Angry protesters clash with cops in ugly scenes near Downing Street despite Boris Johnson’s historic election win

ANGRY protesters tonight clashed with cops in ugly scenes near Downing Street despite Boris Johnson’s historic election win.

One demonstrator was arrested for criminal damage as masked figures were pictured scuffling with police at Trafalgar Square after the Tories swept to a majority government today.

Several hundred noisy protesters marched through central London on Friday evening to protest against the election result, disrupting traffic and chanting “Boris Johnson: Not My Prime Minister” and “Boris, Boris, Boris: Out, Out, Out”.

Met Police confirmed one arrest for criminal damage had been made.

Officers were seen struggling to contain the crowd as they protested the British vote.

But some Brits were left unimpressed with the demonstrations, with one writing on social media : “I didn’t vote blue. But why are people protesting saying “Boris Out” less than a day after polling closed? Protest against the electorate. They kept him there. You only respect democracy if you get the result you want? “Not your PM”? Well, yeah he is. That’s kinda how it works.”

Another added: “Democracy is only fair if you win eh?? How do they want to decide which government is in power? Shouting the loudest? Protest marches forever more.”

Today, the Tories won a 80-seat majority in a historic election which saw Labour suffer its worst election since 1935.

It comes despite the PM winning the General Election by a landslide – calling on the country to unite and focus on the NHS.

Speaking from Downing Street, the Prime Minister said the country can now heal and make the NHS its top priority as parliamentary deadlock is finally broken.

Johnson urged “everyone to find closure and to let the healing begin”, adding that “the overwhelming priority of the British people is that we should focus, above all, on the NHS”.

He added: “We are going to unite and level up… Bringing together the whole of this incredible United Kingdom — England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland together, taking us forward, unleashing the potential of the whole country, delivering opportunity across the entire nation.”

Meanwhile, deluded Jeremy Corbyn is refusing to stand down as Labour leader – saying he would cling onto power until a contest is held in the “early part of next year”.

The sore loser refused to accept any blame for the disastrous results – and instead tried to pin the devastating loss on Britain’s EU debate.

But an Opinium poll revealed more than a third of voters who had supported Labour in 2017 had defected due to the party’s leadership.

The damning poll also shows just 21 per cent defected away from Labour due to the party’s mixed up stance on Brexit.
