The Metropolitan Police says it will take no further action against Sarah Helm, wife of national security adviser Jonathan Powell, over an X post mentioning Palestine Action. She had written that authors who support Palestine and the banned group needed help, after a row over novelist Sally Rooney. Specialist officers assessed the post and decided it did not meet the threshold for a criminal offence.
