Man admits threatening to kill Bishop Auckland MP Sam Rushworth

The following month, Clarke told two mental health practitioners he wanted to find the MP and smash his head off a pavement, to set fire to a building he was in and then “lock all the doors so I could hear him screaming”.

Clarke added: “I’m going to do it, it’s just a matter of time.”

Ms Kemp said the MP had made a victim statement and was particularly concerned for the safety of his family.

Amrit Jandoo, defending, said Clarke had no political views or malice towards Rushworth, “but it is quite clear he has taken umbrage against the MP”.

He asked for a pre-sentence report to be made before Clarke’s crown court appearance.

Mr Jandoo said his client had a history of mental health treatment.

He added: “He would fully accept that his behaviour on these occasions has been very poor.”
