  • A four-day week? I’d suggest a 10-day one | Brief letters

    Calendrical revolution | Somalian and US piracy | Writing fatigue | Social media activity | Four stages of lifeInstead of a four-day working week (‘Bring it on!’: growing support in England for four-day week in schools, 9 December), could we consider a 10-day week? Work seven days and have three days off. The economy gets an extra day’s production out of the workforce, and workers enjoy a long weekend every weekend. There would be three weeks in a 30-day month with a few days to spare, much as it is now. What about naming the three extra weekdays? Think of the fun a national competition would bring. Just what we need – a distraction.Ruth GuthrieBrigham, Cumbria• You couldn’t make it up.

  • Democrat on ousting Republican in Pennsylvania’s ’swingiest’ county: ‘Partnering with ICE is a losing proposition’

    Danny Ceisler’s defeat in sheriff’s race of incumbent who had signed an agreement to work with ICE sends a message on US’s contentious debate around immigration policyOnly 40 miles north of Philadelphia, Bucks county has gained a reputation as the “swingiest” county in the swing state of Pennsylvania and one of the most pivotal political bellwethers in the country.Party registration in the county is almost evenly split among Democrats and Republicans. Joe Biden won it in 2020, Donald Trump triumphed there in 2024. November’s elections there were local – but a hot race for county sheriff drew much wider attention as a microcosm for America’s contentious debate around immigration policy – and the result signaled a shake-up in how the county approaches enforcement.
