An internet troll who made anti-Semitic death threats to a Labour MP and threatened to blow up a mosque has been jailed for 27 months.
John Nimmo, from South Shields, sent two emails to Luciana Berger, in which he said she would “get it like Jo Cox” and “watch your back Jewish scum”.
Emails to an anti-hate crime group also including threats to blow up a mosque.
Newcastle Crown Court heard the 28-year-old had earlier admitted three charges relating to online threats.
One of Nimmo’s messages to Liverpool Labour MP Ms Berger included a picture of a large knife and came just three weeks after MP Jo Cox was killed, the court heard.
Nimmo was jailed in 2014 for eight weeks for sending abusive messages on Twitter to feminist campaigner Caroline Criado-Perez and MP Stella Creasy.
Ms Criado-Perez had led a campaign using social media for a female figure to appear on a Bank of England note.
