Whether by ambition, blood or lust, like diamonds, we are cut with our own dust

I just didn’t have Leeds pegged as a super spreader event

[Rhiannon Cox @rhi_cox]

@oakjer Thanks for flagging! Think it should be sorted now 😊

[Rhiannon Cox @rhi_cox]

Very much enjoyed speaking about the de Clare sisters and the Marches of Wales on session 620 @IMC_Leeds. Thanks to all those who attended and for the many thoughtful questions!

“Zara believed that a woman should be able to walk home.”

Please, take the time to read every word of this tribute to Zara Aleena by her family. I’m not sure I’ve read anything quite like it before.

@StephEmmaBrown @Cdb23Briggs @gcseabourne @magdalenealumni @CamHistory Congrats Steph!

@hagenilda @DrLRoach @DrAdamChapman Didn’t quite have the heart to lay into the poor aides he was sending ahead to gauge the Tory supporters on the road!

[Rhiannon Cox @rhi_cox]

@DrLRoach @DrAdamChapman @hagenilda I wish it had been a joke! Feeling very fortunate to no longer be an Esher and Walton resident

Thanks to increasing regulation over the decades, these incidents occur far less frequently, but we must hold employers to account when they endanger their workers lives

[Rhiannon Cox @rhi_cox]

My grandad worked for many years in the steelworks in Ebbw Vale. On his third life-threatening incident, which required an extended stay in rehab to treat a brain injury, he had to find work elsewhere

[Rhiannon Cox @rhi_cox]

To all the white collar workers who cry “health and safety gone mad”, this is what’s really at stake. For those of us with our roots in industrial communities, these incidents are horribly familiar, though thankfully far rarer than they used to be

[Rhiannon Cox @rhi_cox]

@JoanPassey Wonderful news Joan, congratulations!
