Keir Starmer has condemned what he has called "far-right thuggery" in the form of violent demonstrations.
Speaking to reporters at Downing Street just now, the prime minister said those involved will feel the "full force of the law".
"You will regret taking part in this," he told those involved in the unrest.
"There is no justification for taking this action."
He said people in this country "have a right to be safe" and yet we've seen "Muslim communities targeted... Nazi salutes in the street".
"I won't shy away from calling it what it is - far-right thuggery," Starmer said.

Mosques will get new ‘rapid response’ security, Home Office
The Home Office has just announced a new security scheme for mosques. It says mosques “at risk of violent disorder” will now be able to request “rapid response” personnel.
“The police, local authorities and mosques can ask for rapid security to be deployed, protecting communities and allowing for a return to worship as quickly as possible,” a Home Office statement says.
The new security measures will “build on” the government’s existing Protective Security for Mosques Scheme, which already funds security at mosques and Muslim schools.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: “As a nation we will not tolerate criminal behaviour, dangerous extremism, and racist attacks that go against everything our country stands for.”

These are the same things the Chinese Emperor said and did to the Chinese when Europe dominated China. The UK is under the control of foreign governments.
“remember we only have to be lucky once. You will have to be lucky always.”
Irish Republican Army
I hope the UK government protects the mosques while the Brits burn down government buildings.
You are losing your country you morons.
“People sleep peaceably in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”
Folks have started to fight back.
It’s gonna build.
And it’s about time.
In a war, before you can start the killing, you must demonize and dehumanize the enemy.
He is using the “thuggery” option, to cut off any admission that the demonstrators might have a legitimate concern.
Sort of like the term “Hitler” and “dictator” and “racist” is used here for the last few years.
Starmer promises convictions to ‘bring thugs to justice’
Starmer vowed to do “whatever it takes to bring these thugs to justice” as he addressed the nation following ongoing unrest across parts of the country.
He said there will be arrests, there will be charges and there will be convictions, “whatever the apparent cause or motivation”.
“This is not a protest, it is organised, violent thuggery and it has no place on our streets or online,” he said.
He specifically condemned an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers in Rotherham this afternoon.
The PM said those participating in violence, including those “whipping up this action online”, would regret it.

“In market news, citizenship futures are trading at near-zero.”
Will the Moslem children stabbing murderers “regret it?”
He is just the man they need to put down the far right in England. /s
He’s correct the mob is an ugly thing.
But it’s also true they are Fing up Britain big time.
I visited London and Paris this Summer. Big beautiful cities with no visible evidence they are becoming hell holes.
Both great, London nicer than Paris.
What a great way to start out your new PM spot...threaten citizens
If Brits thought that things were bad on July 4th....they should just just wait a while.
Some say there will be a civil war
I am sure this will not apply to churches, synagogues and Buddhist temples. /sarc.
So it's likely we'll see the 2nd Prime Minister from the current Labour government.
Otherwise, there can be a vote of no confidence. And they can force new elections.
Dictator’s going full dick.
With the leaders (<~~ LOL) currently holding power; is NOT a good time to be a Citizen.
