Stephen Graham is set to star in an ITV drama based on the true story behind the plot to kill West Lancashire MP Rosie Cooper.
The MP announced yesterday that she is stepping down from her role after 17 years to take up the role as chairman of Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, despite securing reselection to stand as West Lancashire MP at the next General Election. In her announcement that she is resigning, the 72-year-old politician made reference to the impact of the incident which saw Jack Renshaw plot to kill her.
Jack Renshaw, from Skelmersdale, bought a Gladius Machete with intention of killing Rosie Cooper, with him pleading to guilty and being sentenced to life in prison in 2019. The dramatisation of the plot, dubbed The Walk In, is set to air on ITV on October 3 , with it chronicling the murderous plans and how it was stopped by anti-fascism campaign group Hope not Hate. The show was announced on the same day she resigned.
