No further action against government adviser's wife over Palestine Action post, police say

Police say no further action will be taken against the wife of the government's national security adviser after she posted on social media referencing Palestine Action.

Sarah Helm, who is married to Jonathan Powell, wrote on X on Thursday: "God help us authors who support Palestine and Palestine Action."

She was responding to a discussion about the author Sally Rooney, whose novels will not be supplied to booksellers in the UK following her announcement that she intends to use her royalties to support the proscribed organisation.
