Like you I am sickened by the scenes unfolding across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
It is now clear that too little has been done, and for too long, to stem support for far-right groups and far-right views. We're not afraid to call it far-right - because it is.
And there are politicians who must take the blame for stoking these tensions for their own political gain.
Best for Britain refuses to separate the influence of decades-long rhetoric of people like Nigel Farage and slogans like "Stop The Boats", from the chants of rioters on our streets. And certain sections of the media cannot absolve themselves of blame either.
Those who seek to exploit a moment of fragility when a tragedy like the one in Southport occurs are not bringing anything to the table other than hatred and division - and history has shown us time and time again that anger has never solved a problem that anger created.
We know many of you will want to send a message to those in your communities who are feeling vulnerable right now.
That is why we have produced a new artwork for you to proudly display in your window.
Tell everyone that you stand with them, and that hate has no home here.

At the last election Reform UK came second in 98 seats. And they are seeking to make huge gains at the 2029 general election.
We must not allow that to happen.
They are part of the problem, and most definitely not the solution.
Every penny raised from your poster helps fund Best for Britain's work to expose "concerns" about migration as the dog-whistle politics of the far-right. While sending a clear, hopeful, message to everyone in your town that we won't stand for hatred and violence.
This weekend has shown some of the worst of our country. Racism, violence, Islamophobia. But it's also shown some of the best of us.

There is a story to be told of humanity and resilience. Let's tell it. 1/13 🧵
On Monday night we shared a thread of the good deeds being done by the overwhelming majority of people to fight back against these rioters.
It's vital that we share stories like this as far and wide as we possibly can.
Our commitment to "Change Minds → Change Politics" relies on supporters like you spreading our message that migration is Britain's strength, not its weakness, to as many people as possible.
Take a photo of the Hate Has No Home Here artwork in your window tagging @BestforBritain and we'll be sure to share it with our followers on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
There are more of us than them - let's prove it.
