In his speech at the Labour Party’s conference in Brighton,John McDonnell said Britons were working some of the longest hours in Europe and promised that would change.

The average working week in the UK will be reduced to 32 hours within 10 years under a Labour government, MP John McDonnell promised.

The UK's shadow chancellor claimed the move to an effective four-day week could be achieved with no reduction in pay for workers.
