Here's an update below from when I was on @GMB this morning.
Thanks so much to everyone who has supported and reached out, as well as the well wishes towards Jane. She wouldn't believe it.
I am so grateful to everyone who has shared. ❤️
The family of a 73-year-old British woman in a coma in the U.S. say they were given a terrifying ultimatum by the holiday insurer covering her medical expenses.
Jane Rubens was hit by an SUV in St Louis and has since undergone multiple operations on her brain. Jane's daughter Cat says AXA Partners insisted she should fly home to Scotland or they would stop paying for her treatment - despite doctors advising against the flight.

1. I don’t often tweet about my personal life, but on 1st November, my mum Jane was hit by a large vehicle as a pedestrian in St. Louis, USA. She suffered a severe brain injury & remains in a coma in hospital.
Here's Jane & me in happier times.

If you have received financial compensation following a claim or CICA application, setting up a “personal injury trust” can be a helpful way to manage the money.
Our guest blog from Leigh Day provides an introduction to personal injury trusts: napac.org.uk/personal-injury…

📣Today I publish my new report on victim advocates.
Unsung heroes, victim advocates are the backbone of the justice system for survivors. The report details how they empower victims on their justice journey & ensure their voices are heard.

This is a welcome initiative from @CommissionerDA, giving domestic abuse survivors a platform to use their voice and share their experience. I hope it will empower more victims to come forward - and centre the victim voice in policy.

In light of an informative few days at #VEXConf24 it feels like an appropriate time to reshare the VKPP's excellent research into police engagement with victims and survivors.

I was recommended this @NAPAC booklet by my own therapist. It's one of the simplest, most powerful, even beautiful tools in helping me put down burdens that were not mine to carry. napac.org.uk/project/it-wasn…
Posting today just in case it helps anyone out there who needs to hear it.
