Is a link to that mention of a 4 day week. I use mention as the most appropriate word as that's what it was, doesn't look like it's happening and regardless it wouldn't mean children missing out on 20% of their school time as the law requires 190 days of school per year.

This isn't fundamental capitalism, even at 40% of the national income the state is still larger than it pretty much ever has been.

The rest of your post is the usual socialist diatribe. Private enterprise functioned fine before the last Labour government embarked on the largest, most sustained increase in public spending in over 50 years and will do so just fine when that has been partially corrected.

I say partially because the state will still be much bigger and we'll still be facing a 20% higher tax bill than pre-Labour when all is said and done. The public sector cuts are barely adequate for the job to be perfectly honest.
