SCOTLAND is ready to show Boris Johnson how it feels about him at a "Not My Prime Minister" rally later today.
More than 1000 people have already confirmed they'll be attending the demonstration in Glasgow, which was only announced this morning.
A further 4000 people are interested in attending the protest, which is being hosted by Stand Up To Racism and will begin at 6pm on the city's Buchanan Street.

Scotland rejected the Conservatives at yesterday's election, voting for 48 SNP MPs, six Tory MPs, four LibDem MPs and just one Labour MP.
However, as the Tories gained seat after seat in England, the party gained its largest majority since the Thatcher days.
The final UK-wide results saw the Tories take 364 seats while Labour lagged behind on 203 - its worst performance since 1935.

Jeremy Corbyn announced he would not be taking his party into another election and would be resigning following a period of reflection.
Meanwhile in Scotland another party leader announced she'd be stepped down.
Jo Swinson, who had only led the party since July, lost her East Dunbartonshire seat to the SNP last night by just 149 votes.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
