Hey @ChrisGPackham from Congo. love what you do, big fan, but we are all complicate in the destruction of our planet. The phone you used to tweet from about #Ivory contains #conflictminerals. We are all working for a better ecosystem including @RevRichardColes Keep campaigning.

Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham

Hello Richard . Hope you are happy and healthy . This is indeed remarkable craftsman/womanship but it’s no longer appropriate to celebrate ivory . Because unfortunately this type of stuff is still aspirational for some . We can’t rewrite history , but we need to right the future… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1636860844821602305

I've been speaking to firms all day affected by the news on Silicon Valley Bank to discuss the worries that they face. I’m holding a meeting with industry reps this pm. The Chancellor has also spoken with the Governor of the Bank of England and we remain in close touch with them.

The @Conservatives are the people damaging #GB image abroad. @GaryLineker is expressing his personal views on a personal platform. Suppression of #FreedomOfSpeech is a slippery slope towards authoritarianism.

John Caudwell @JohnDCaudwell

While I still think this circus around @GaryLineker distracts from the real issues with refugees, the @BBC is right to suspend him.

It's fine to have an opinion and express it in a fair way.

But as British taxpayers pay his salary, he should be https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64920557… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1634254441082658839

Introducing PeaceGold, the beginnings of a social enterprise and peace building coalition rooted in the earth of eCongo. #Conflict-minerals have been well documented over the last 500 years of Kongo/Congo history. But few have ever talked about #peaceminerals and the idea of using the vast wealth of gold to build #peace and #communitycohesion . Well that’s what #PeaceGold is all about. A coalition of #asmgoldminers, #localcommunities #peacebuilding organisation and #ethicaljewellers all coming together to build peace. We are tired of conflict and war. Tired of power brokers setting us against each other and perpetuating hateful narratives. PeaceGold is a tangible grass roots movement of ordinary people working and digging for peace and prosperity.

So if you’re looking for #ethicallysourced #engagementrings you have come to the right place.
