Neo-nazi plotted to murder MP

A member of the banned neonazi group National Action plotted to murder an MP for “White Jihad”, a court has heard.

Jack Renshaw, 23, of Skelmersdale, Lancashire, bought a 19inch long Gladius Machete to kill Labour’s Rosie Cooper last summer.

He planned to take hostages to lure a police officer to the scene. On the opening day of his trial, Renshaw pleaded guilty to preparing acts of terrorism and making a threat to kill Detective Constable Victoria Henderson.
