Very exciting to see Lambeth pushing ahead with their 4-day week trial.
The UK is leading the way on this, with 1 Council (South Cambs) already on a hugely successful 4-day week.
It’s high time we had another!
We all know South Cambridgeshire District Council's 4-day, 32-hour week works.
What Local Authority Leaders need to know now is:
How did they do it?
What was the impact?
and
How can we do it too?
To answer those questions, we’ve condensed all the key data into one brand-new, easy-to-read summary document.

We can't carry on as we are.
Politics as usual has taken Britain backwards, and more of the same won't get us where we need to be.
Today, I'll set out a different path for our country.
That means having an honest conversation about the things we've ignored for too long, from fixing social care and tackling youth unemployment to giving people more control over energy, water and housing.
Hope comes from honesty.
It comes from saying the things politicians usually avoid, being straight about the challenges we face, and having the courage to fix them.
That's exactly what I will do.
Nobody on their deathbed ever wished they spent more time with their spreadsheets.
We all need more time for our families, our friends, and our lives outside work.
It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰
Great to see your belief in the 4-day week, @darrenpjones
We both know that AI won’t “let us” have a 4-day week by magic though - action is required to make it happen.
Government-backed trials would go a long way here. 👀
It’s Friday. The majority of us should have started our weekend already.*
(*some people might prefer Wednesdays off - it takes all sorts.)

Advances in technology have made us exponentially more productive over the last 100 years.
These productivity gains should buy back time, not just stack more tasks.

Met a guy at the bar last night that works as a long-haul trucker. He said he's barely getting by. The Iran War has pushed up his fuel costs. His back hurts, but he has no healthcare. Even worse, AI might automate his job. I put my hand on his shoulder and said "Donald Trump has a poll on whether we should rename Artificial Intelligence to Superior Intelligence." Then this big strong guy who never cries. He said. He said to me, "Thank you President Trump. Thank you." And he burst out crying.
