Protests against the outcome of the General Election are to take place across the UK today - despite bloody scenes at demonstrations organised by the same group on Friday night.

Boris Johnson's Conservative Party won Thursday's election with an overall majority of 162 seats over Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party.

But the result has not gone down well among those who didn't vote Conservative, and there were bloody scenes at protests in London on Friday.

Protestors could be heard chanting "not my Prime Minister" and "NO to Johnson."

A Met Police spokesman confirmed three people had been arrested in relation to the protest.

Hundreds also marched in Glasgow following Thursday's election result.

The clashes don't appear to have put off other anti-Conservative demonstrators either, with the same organisers planning further protests to take place today.

Stand Up To Racism has organised marches in Leeds , Cambridge , Swansea, Derby, Bristol, Oxford, Birmingham, Edinburgh and York.

The Leeds demonstration will take place on The Headrow, in the centre of the city, at midday.

Referring to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, they said: "He doesn't represent multicultural Britain. He has called Muslim women 'letter boxes', called black people 'piccaninnies with watermelon smiles' and LGBT people 'bum boys'.

"We cannot have him as Prime Minister for the next five years.

"Let's meet the first day of his new term with protests across the country."

Cambridge Stand Up to Racism is organising an open-air event with one clear message, "Mr Johnson is not our PM. We will never tolerate racism."

The organisation says: "From the moment the exit polls suggested the likelihood of a Tory majority, Stand Up To Racism was stressing the importance of intensifying the resistance.

"Boris Johnson’s election follows the same trend in the US and many European countries of populist votes propping up racist right-wing governments and is the product of a deeply polarised situation.

"Through the Tories' deliberately engineered 'hostile environment', the Tories have pushed racism systematically as an explanation for the attacks they have consistently barraged working class communities with.

"Yet we must not forget that millions are opposed to racism, and that we have a proud tradition of anti-racism in the history of Britain.

"We must now prepare to build a movement against a Prime Minister who has used racist and dehumanising language to describe Muslim, African and Caribbean communities, and the racist policies that will almost certainly accompany the forthcoming attacks on living standards for working people.

"Boris Johnson has a track record of bigotry. He is refusing to apologise for describing Muslim women as looking like “letterboxes” and “bank robbers”. Islamophobic incidents went up by 375 percent in the week after he made these statements. Nor did he apologise for calling black people "piccaninnies with watermelon smiles."

"These comments are part of an ever-growing list of racist comments Johnson has made and defended that have caused widespread shock and outrage.

"The government’s Windrush scandal led to misery for thousands of black Britons who arrived decades ago. People were deported, denied NHS care, and lost their job as part of a deliberate “hostile environment” which Johnson’s government is set to continue."
