We're in Launceston, Tasmania to visit Australia's oldest continuously operating weaving mill.

Ever wondered how mechanical textile recycling actually works? What shoddy and mungo is, and why we called it that? What the rag n' bone man collected back in the day, and how the trade grew up, then scaled back? And what it will take to bring it back and keep what's already here, going? Wonder no more! John Parkinson has a masterclass for you, complete with magic and secrets. For 200 years, Yorkshire made recycled wool cloth for the world. But don’t think its all disappeared.

We're talking about textile skills, mending, repair, sewing, the wellbeing economy and what that might look like - at home.

Want a side of modern slavery with that? Didn't think so. Modern slavery is organised crime, and no one wants that lurking in their supply chain.

There's a trash pile of clothes in Chile's Atacama Desert so big it's visible from space. These activists are doing something about it…Everyone knows reasons why the global north exports used clothing to the global south - it's because fashion is too fast, quality is too low, volumes are too high, and for rich countries it's often cheaper to export your problem than it is to deal with it onshore. The system at scale today is about global trade.

Despicable. And surely illegal. #boycottx Elon Musk giving ‘serious thought’ to Reform donation, says Farage https://t.co/MIRxN7zcjA
Look, @elonmusk is a lunatic megalomaniac cartoon villain but don’t be fooled. He’s also a dangerous criminal. After helping the orange one get re-elected in his own country, he’s now trying to destabilise the UK govt. #boycottx #boycottmusk https://t.co/rcytTu8fxe
