Why are female MPs terror targets?

What the Rosie Cooper murder plot reveals about the far-right.

On Friday the former BNP poster boy and 23 year-old convicted paedophile Jack Renshaw was sentenced to at least 20 years in prison for plotting to murder the Labour MP Rosie Cooper. Renshaw has been a hero to some racists, misogynists and anti-semites in the North West for a few years. We speak to Robbie Mullen, a former neo-nazi who risked his life to blow the whistle on Renshaw; Ruth Smeeth, the Labour MP who told Cooper about the plot, and the 麻豆社鈥檚 Daniel De Simone, who covered the case, to understand why neo-Nazis are radicalising against women.
