Correction: North Ayrshire Council officers have suggested the four-day week as a worst case scenario. And it's one that the councillors do not support. Even the leader of the council (David O'Neil, Labour) is against it, and he has every reason to use a soundbite like this as a Ryanair-style PR stunt.

As usual, there is more to a story than the headline. It's useful to read as widely as possible around these sorts of things, rather than simply swallowing news items without establishing anything beyond whether they scratch your own personal political itch.
