I am excited to take up the role of NED at @Rev_plc, supporting it's uranium supply chain strategy to meet Western energy needs. It is also a real pleasure to be working again with Reveille Resources Chair @mikepompeo, who I had the privilege to work with in government. https://t.co/WgVXRjUQkg

I enjoyed speaking to @cnbcafrica
about the challenge in West Africa of the violent exploitation of artisanal gold miners, how it is fuelling terrorism, and what needs to be done to address it.

Ghana is on the frontline in the struggle against criminal exploitation of artisanal gold-mining. It was a pleasure to talk about the World Gold Council's @GOLDCOUNCIL partnership with Ghana at the @mininginmotion conference in Accra.

My take, at the @ftcommodities FT's Precious Metals Summit, on what needs to be done to break the vicious cycle of criminal predators plundering artisanal gold miners to finance war, crime and terrorism. @GOLDCOUNCIL 👇

Yesterday, I joined @UNODC in Abu Dhabi for the UN Congress on Crime. I set out the challenges and progress, on combatting illicit flows from the violent plunder of artisanal gold mining, since my 2024 report #SilenceisGolden @GOLDCOUNCIL. Thanks to @SofiaDems for moderating.

“When I qualified as a lawyer we used to bill in 5-minute units”

When our Senior Founding Advisor @DominicRaab qualified as a lawyer, firms billed in five-minute units. Every five minutes had to be accounted for.

“It shows what a producer-oriented sector it was."

[etn. @etnshow]

Former UK Deputy PM @DominicRaab on why Index Law wants the human as the last mile, not a five-minute billing unit:

"When I qualified as a lawyer we used to bill in five-minute units. If you couldn't account for your five minutes..."

"It shows what a producer-oriented sector it was. We want to turn that around."

"It's designed to make the human the last mile in every case."

"There'll be things that are very routine that the AI can have a really high confidence level in and it just needs a human to say yes or no to it."

Former UK Deputy PM @DominicRaab joins Index Law Co-Founder @qatindex to reset the legal model around the consumer:

"I've been in law all my life. I qualified as a solicitor, and then in government I was justice secretary."

"Someone comes along with a vision to really reset the paradigm and put the consumer in the driving seat and use AI to allow them to devise a legal strategy."

"What I found so attractive in Quddus' vision is not just make lawyers 20, 30% more efficient, but redesign the model so the consumer can get faster, more accurate, higher impact legal advice."

"I think it's a real game changer."

Gold executives warn of smuggling ‘crisis’ via @FT

There is a plan to tackle it. My report, Silence is Golden, for @chathamhouse @goldcouncil, sets out 4 pillars: law enforcement, action on illicit finance, formalising ASGM & international coordination.

This is a rare, smart and sober analysis of the deeper geopolitical differences at stake - beneath the froth - dividing Western views over the conflict with Iran.
