cutting the working week to 10 hours, and "save the planet" too? win-win situation all round, isn't it?
…..or would it - as according to labour's opponents - be a sure route to economic oblivion?

This one really hasn't been thought through has it.
So we all join the poverty line, production drops and the UK economy tanks whist China, India and emerging countries work Lord knows how many hours and their economy grows(although wont be exporting to us of course!)
This has to be the biggest load of cobblers I have seen from any political Party, it's worthy of the Raving Loony Party.

McDonnell said the report was a contribution to the debate. He did not say he agreed with it all, or that it is Labour Policy. Just because they have not dismissed it out of hand, does not mean he backs it.
// This is a vital contribution to the growing debate around free time and reducing the working week. //

we are years away from that - if it ever happens. it is possible that everybody's supply chain could be automated, with delivery drones massing like a cloud of angry, bees emanating from fully automated warehouses, stocked by automated giant delivery trucks, and so on. none of this technology works first time every time, and no-one has yet developed a fault finding machine that can out-think a human technician. plus a fully automated supply chain is actually less efficient than a semi automatic supply chain. and that's just one aspect of living. machines may be able to harvest crops automatically in the future, but how will the machine be dug out of the mud when it gets stuck? aviation might well be a thing of the past in a few years but as long as it persists, human specialists will always be required - when Qantas 32 had its uncontained engine failure, no machine in existence could have landed the plane.

"Robots are coming"
Yes they are, indeed in manufacturing they have been here a while.
However history has shown that when new technology comes in jobs change they dont go away.
It could be that working hours can be reduced but that will never be achieved unless the wages can be maintained. There are complaints of poverty already, take 75% off and there will be howls - and real starvation.
