"COWARDLY" far-right thugs will face swift punishment, the Home Secretary promised yesterday.
And the Justice Minister said those involved in riots have a cell waiting for them for up to 10 years.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer called an emergency Cobra meeting last night as towns across the UK braced for as many as 30 more riots.
A list of targets was circulated online, naming immigration lawyers and refugee advice centres.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: "It is not protest. It is violent, criminal disorder. These thugs do not represent Britain, and we will never let them be our voice.
"The criminal justice system is acting quickly, with prosecutors working round the clock to ensure those involved are charged.
"The police have my unwavering support to ensure they have everything they need to put a stop to this mindless violence."
Starmer said after the Cobra meeting that those involved are likely to be dealt with within a week.
He added: "Nobody, but nobody, should involve themselves in this disorder."
Asked whether he could reassure worried communities, the PM said: "They will be safe.
We're doing everything we can to ensure that." Far-right groups have been plotting to bring more fear to the streets using messaging apps like Telegram.
