Jack Andrew Renshaw (born 1995) is a British former spokesperson for the neo-Nazi organisation National Action, convicted child sex offender, and the planner of an attempted murder of a Member of Parliament. Before becoming a spokesperson for National Action, he was an economics and politics student at Manchester Metropolitan University and an organiser for the BNP Youth – the youth wing of the British National Party (BNP), a far-right, fascist political party.
His child sexual offences involved contacting 13- to 15-year-old boys in 2016 and 2017, sending graphic photographs of himself, and offering them gifts, money, and drugs to send him intimate photos and to have sex with him, resulting in a conviction of four counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
On 12 June 2018, Renshaw pleaded guilty to preparing an act of terrorism, with the intention of killing the Labour MP Rosie Cooper, and to making a threat to murder a police officer.
