This is Jack Renshaw. In 2018 he was sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum term of 20 years, for hatching a plot to kill two women with a machete.

​

Renshaw was a member of the Far Right National Action group, now banned under the Terrorism Act.

One of those women was his local Labour MP, Rosie Cooper. The other was a woman police detective who had been investigating Renshaw.

Roger Corke made a documentary for ITV showing how the plot was only exposed because a National Action member, Robbie Mullen, was sickened by the group's threats of violence, and became a mole for an anti-fascist organisation, Hope Not Hate.​​​​

The documentary featured video - never broadcast before - of the police questioning Renshaw and other key National Action members.

​

The group's leader, Christopher Lythgoe, told police the Holocaust never happened and that Jews were merely "evacuated" by the Nazis. He was given an eight-year jail sentence for membership of a banned organisation.​​​
