This story is from the archive. It was covered between 21 October 2026 and 21 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

A Downing Street spokeswoman tells the BBC Sarah Helm "does not represent the government in any capacity".

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story the same way, as Rooney’s books being withdrawn or no longer supplied in the U.K. because of her support for Palestine Action. The AP adds that Rooney said this happened and identifies the group as one the British government has outlawed as a terrorist organization; CBS does not include that detail.
