This will be great, would add (not news to you, but potentially good for followers looking at this) that the @instituteforgov.bsky.social "ministers reflect" series has some great bits of insight from interviews with devolved ministers

There's little doubt that Iceland's experimentation has helped encourage public sector trials elsewhere in Europe – from Spain to Scotland (where we've been helping the devolved government run a reduced hours pilot)

This build on our 2021 report, which really kicked off a global conversation on shorter working hours, and explored the story of how Iceland ended up with a shorter working week as a 'new normal'

Here's our most recent report, released last month & co-authored by me and Guðmundur, looking at data covering 2021-22

We found uptake had spread wide across the economy: more than half (59%) of workers had been offered reduced working hours in the past two years

Although, I should think in this instance, it does lie fairly straightforwardly in Williams' expansive intellectual generosity

Quite wonderful demonstration of how, the greater the polite restraint shown by a reviewer quite fairly entitled to savage the object at hand, the more devastating the effect.
