UK police rule out probe into Palestine Action post by PM adviser’s wife

Police in the United Kingdom have determined that a social media post by the wife of Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s national security adviser that appears to endorse Palestine Action , a group proscribed in the country as a “terrorist” organisation, does not merit a criminal investigation. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson on Saturday said that officers looked at Sarah Helm’s post and ruled that it “did not meet the criminal threshold. No further police action will be taken.” The police had said on Friday that Helm’s post was “being assessed to determine whether any further police investigation may be required”.
