Neo-Nazi who plotted to kill Labour MP Rosie Cooper, has been sentenced to life with a minimum of 20 years at the Old Bailey.
Renshaw, from Skelmersdale, Lancashire, was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 20 years at the Old Bailey.
Renshaw raised his arm in an apparent Nazi salute as a supporter in the public gallery shouted “we’re with you Jack.”
Sentencing Renshaw, Mrs Justice McGowan said: “Your perverted view of history and current politics has caused you to believe it right to demonise groups simply because they are different from you.”
She added: “This is a case in which only a sentence of life imprisonment can meet the appalling seriousness of your offending.”
Jack Renshaw, 23, bought a 19-inch (48cm) Gladius knife to kill the West Lancashire MP.
Renshaw admitted making preparations to kill his local MP and threatening to kill police officer Victoria Henderson.
Ms Cooper said: “I was targeted, not as Rosie Cooper the person, but as Rosie Cooper the MP.
“I was to be murdered to send a message to the state.”
Renshaw announced his plan at an extreme right-wing group National Action’s meeting.
Someone present at the meeting informed the police.
Robbie Mullen, from Widnes, Cheshire, shared details of the plot with campaign group Hope Not Hate, who passed details on to the police.
A previous trial in April saw Renshaw deny membership of National Action. The jury was discharged when they failed to reach a verdict.
Renshaw was previously jailed last June for 16 months after he groomed two underage boys online.
He also received a three-year prison sentence two months earlier. He was found guilty of stirring up racial hatred after he called for the genocide of Jewish people.
Mr Mullen said his decision to reveal Renshaw’s plot changed his life but he “had no other choice”.
