Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell said of the document: 'This is a vital contribution to the growing debate around free time and reducing the working week.' Leo Murray, who advises shadow Treasury minister Clive Lewis, backed the report's findings, saying: 'I like this take a lot’. The document, called The Ecological Limits of Work, was savaged by critics who said its suggestions would wreck the economy. 'Labour don't know how to handle the economy and it would be working people who would suffer with fewer jobs, lower wages and higher taxes.' Will Stronge, director of Autonomy, said last month: 'Becoming a green, sustainable society will require a number of strategies – a shorter working week being just one of them.'
