Renshaw threatened to kill MP Rosie Cooper
Neo-Nazi paedophile Jack Renshaw has been jailed for life with a minimum of 20 years for threatening to kill MP Rosie Cooper.
The 23-year-old Renshaw, from Skelmersdale in Lancashire, pleaded guilty to the charges, following a police investigation into a plot to murder Labour MP Rosie Cooper. He bought a knife to kill the politician and threatened a police officer.
Renshaw was also convicted of inciting racial hatred in speeches given in 2016.
He is believed to have raised his arm in what appeared to be a Nazi salute as he was taken away.
Renshaw’s plot was foiled after he announced his plan to murder Cooper at a meeting in a pub among National Action members.

The man who reported the plot, Robbie Mullen, has since spoken for Hope Not Hate about the difficulty in leaving the far-right neo-Nazi terrorist organisation.
Mullen admitted that the decision had changed his life but that he felt he “had no other choice”.
In a victim impact statement read aloud at the Old Bailey during Friday’s sentencing hearing, Rosie Cooper said the threat to her life had felt like “something out of a horror movie”.
