A man admitted sending antisemitic messages and death threats to Luciana Berger in court today.

John Nimmo, 28, of South Shields, pleaded guilty to sending two e-mails to the Jewish MP for Liverpool Wavertree.

The first, which was sent earlier this month, read: “Revenge for Joshua Bonehill-Paine will be sweet. Watch your back Jewish scum. Your friends, The Nazis.”

Joshua Bonehill-Paine, of Yeovil, has also been charged with sending abusive messages to Luciana Berger and is facing a separate trial.
