The levelling up, housing and communities secretary, Michael Gove, told council leaders this week he believed “very strongly” that taxpayers “need to have people working a full five-day week”.

I'd rather someone did an effective job in 4 days than a miserable unproductive 5

Don't suppose he said why he believed taxpayers need that?

I've experienced working a 4 day week and I found it such a positive experience both from how much I got done in the 4 days and how much happier I was. I'd love for everyone to have that opportunity, especially public sector workers.
