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. https://twitter.com/JOE_co_uk/status/1129349432640712704 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".
