A NEONAZI could face a life behind bars for plotting the murder of Labour MP Rosie Cooper while under investigation for grooming young boys for sex.

Jack Renshaw, 23, bought a 19in Gladius knife to kill the West Lancashire MP and exact revenge on a female police officer who interviewed him, the Old Bailey heard.

The plan was scuppered by whistleblower Robbie Mullen, who was at a meeting in a pub when Mr Renshaw announced that he was going to kill Ms Cooper in July 2017.
