Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, London Mayor Sadiq Khan and police chiefs told the extremists that they would face “the full force of the law” as extra officers were mobilised across the capital at potential protest flashpoints.
Speaking to the Standard, Ms Cooper said: “Anyone who has taken part in the disorder should know, the police are coming after you with the weight of our full support behind them.
“You will pay the price. We have already seen perpetrators starting prison sentences this week and expect to see more.”
She added: “Let us be clear — criminal thugs on the streets and those who incite violence online will never be allowed to define who we are as a country, and they will never speak for our capital city.”
