It gives you a good workout. And this is to according scientists, who says people who wear high heels, to improve their looks. But improve their looks. But actually, it does more. It makes your ankles and calves tougher. It makes your leg muscles more powerful and more efficient, and it makes it easier. Powerful and more efficient, and it makes it easier. So if you it makes it easier. So if you wear high heels for 1500 steps for 99 days, then youve got the benefits of the last walking aboutin benefits of the last walking about in normal shoes for ages. And apparently it says, men could benefit from wearing them too. You could. But i always thought, have you ever worn high heels . No, i wear high heels for just for the fun. I i do like a boot, though. I like a cowboy boot. Or do you a boot with a big. Yeah. I mean, i have got a pair of cowboy boots. And do they have a little heel on . They do have a cowboy boots.

All right then, because in the market a because im in the market for a pair boots for that pair of cowboy boots for that exact reason. Oh, right. And but this is great because im this story is great because im always in heels. Always heels. You are always in heels. You are always in heels. And have a long day in and when i have a long day in heels, really hurts. If heels, it really hurts. If youve worn heels, im youve ever not worn heels, im telling now, theyre telling you now, theyre very painful, so that makes sense, because doing workout. Because im doing a workout. Damaged your feet. Well, em feet. Well, if you wear them well, yes. If you wear them too small, you can get bunions and things.

Yeah, see, i dont see how that can be. Tottering around, youre tottering around, arent this. But is the but this. But this is the writing in the of writing in the journal of applied physiology, and professor suki suki saying, habitually wearing high heeled footwear habitually wearing high heeled footmuscles, and leg muscles, tendons and improves. Improves walking economy. Well, i think thats a so there you go. So i think that makes sense. Its not bad. You do. Youre doing yourself a favour. And so they recommend men wear them too.

And lots coming through about Angela Rayner as well, which is interesting because thats our main story this morning. Certainly angela certainly is. Yes. Angela rayner shell down if rayner says shell step down if its that its determined that she committed a criminal offence over her tax affairs. Its all over her tax affairs. Its all over the sale of her Council House in stockport a decade ago , house in stockport a decade ago, questions have been asked about whether she paid the right amount of tax and if it was, at the time, her main home. Well, in a statement, she said the questions relate said the questions raised relate to time before she was an mp to a time before she was an mp and she has taken expert tax and legal advice. Well, sir keir starmer says labour welcomes the investigation. We welcome this investigation. We welcome this investigation because it will allow a line to be drawn in relation to this matter. Relation to this matter. I am fully confident that Angela Rayner has not broken the rules. She will cooperate with the investigation , as you would the investigation, as you would expect, and its really a matter for the police. For the police. Joining us now is political author owen bennett. Good to see you this morning. Owen. And this is just something that is not going away for the labour party. Going away for the labour party. Exactly. And the thing is, it could have gone away, right . If Angela Rayner was so confident shed wrong had shed done nothing wrong and had this, watertight legal this, this watertight legal advice, have published advice, shed have published this on day one, then it would have gone away, would have been a non story. I mean, i know she was you ill show was saying, you know, ill show you me mine to you yours if you show me mine to members government in members of the government in terms of their legal advice. But why that . Why not say, why not do that . Why not say, heres mine now on, heres mine now, now come on, ive you out the ive called you guys out the fact that she hasnt done this has allowed this to rumble and rumble and rumble. And when something you something rumbles on, what you generally get is you get people who arent even into who arent even that into politics. Hearing about politics. Start hearing about it. What get is the kind it. And what you get is the kind of tone set , it. And what you get is the kind of tone set, an image is of a tone is set, an image is set, then it sort set, and then it sort of becomes, regardless almost becomes, regardless of almost whether you did anything wrong or becomes this or not, there becomes this nofion or not, there becomes this notion you at least try to notion that you at least try to do something or you were do something wrong, or you were deceptive you werent deceptive or you werent anything completely anything other than completely honest. I think thats a honest. And i think thats a problem for someone like angela raynen problem for someone like Angela Rayner, been used by the rayner, who has been used by the labour party because her labour party because of her background as a kind of authentic voice of the working class , attack, particularly class to, attack, particularly bofis class to, attack, particularly Boris Johnson over partygate and matters of that ilk. So i think this is a huge problem for her, not just the substance of whats happened, but also the way its been handled by the labour party i well, yes, m well, yes, i think a lot of people would agree with you on that. However, the fact shes come out and said, you know, if im, if im if its found that ive done anything wrong. Well, ive done anything wrong. Well, in a, in a criminal sense, we have clarify, i will go which have to clarify, i will go which would imply at least that shes got a lot of confidence that she really hasnt done anything wrong. Wrong. Yes. And you just heard the clip there from keir starmer. He was pretty robust, wasnt he . Saying hes very confident. Shes nothing wrong. Shes done nothing wrong. I dont think people would be coming saying that if coming out and saying that if they absolutely sure, they werent absolutely sure, theres two issues at theres sort of two issues at play, there . Theres the play, isnt there . Theres the Capital Gains tax issue and then theres the was she registered to vote at the wrong address . I think the second of those issues, i think due to the time thats passed, not thats passed, im not sure therell action that therell be any action in that regard. Capital gains tax, regard. The Capital Gains tax, it might be that they say that, you chefs will pay the you know, chefs will pay the money and shell write the check and look, happy money and shell write the check an do look, happy money and shell write the check an do this look, happy money and shell write the check an do this because minutes and talking about Angela Rayner as his best friend. Do you think that delay suggests that perhaps this isnt going down quite so well in labour hq, and they are about this . And they are worried about this . Im sure labour hq are furious. Youve rachel furious. Youve got rachel reeves, shadow chancellor, reeves, the shadow chancellor, whos the centre of, whos made the centre point of, labours economic plans going into the election about clamping down on people who, you know, on tax loopholes. Thats where shes trying to the money shes trying to find the money that tories have sort of that the tories have sort of taken changing the taken away from changing the rules labour taken away from changing the ruletrying labour taken away from changing the ruletrying to labour taken away from changing the ruletrying to fight labour taken away from changing the ruletrying to fight this labour are trying to fight this battle over how people should pay their taxes. And if youve got your deputy leader , who theres deputy leader, who theres questions around, then it makes it very, very difficult because every press conference is going to be okay. Well, ive got this conversation deputy conversation with the deputy leader the leader about, making sure the right is paid, we know that right tax is paid, we know that keir and starmer and angela keir and keir starmer and Angela Rayner are not, are not bosom buddies. So maybe thats why keir starmer hasnt come out full throttle earlier on. But now hes come out and hes really nailed himself to this. You know , he nailed his colours you know, he nailed his colours to the on one that he to the mast on this one that he believes done nothing believes shes done nothing wrong. Very, very wrong. Hes very, very confident. Notice confident. Although i did notice in interviews you confident. Although i did notice in im interviews you confident. Although i did notice in im confidentviews you confident. Although i did notice in im confident in ws you said im confident in the answers. Rayner has given answers. Angela rayner has given me, give slight me, which does give me a slight little of room there. Little bit of wiggle room there. Just if she has just saying. Look, if she has done told me, shes done what shes told me, shes done, theres no problem. If she hasnt, course is hasnt, then of course there is a problem. A problem. Yeah, well, well, its understandable himself understandable to give himself a little bit of wiggle room on that. It begs the question, though, this had been anyone though, if this had been anyone else the the shadow else in the cabinet, the shadow cabinet, would they have been persuaded to step down, you know, take a back seat or whatever . I mean, the issue with whatever . I mean, the issue with Angela Rayner is they say they might not be bosom buddies, might not be bosom buddies, might not be bosom buddies, might not get along with her that a but shes that well, in a sense. But shes the one person he cant get rid of. Of. Yes. I of. Yes. I mean, of. Yes. I mean, due of. Yes. I mean, due to of. Yes. I mean, due to the rules around the labour party , shes around the labour party, shes voted in as deputy leader. She has own, sort of backing in has her own, sort of backing in that regard. You know, the relationship between, rayner and starmer is very reminiscent of blair and prescott. If tony blair and prescott. If tony blair was is seen as this lawyer , this figure who was perhaps not of the Labour Movement , not of the Labour Movement, instinctively. And then you had John Prescott there , who could John Prescott there, who could be the voice of the north of the working class. And thats very much the role that Angela Rayner fits. Its and its a fits. And its and its a formula know, formula that, you know, proved to got labour to work. Youve got new labour into think that that into power. So i think that that keir starmer understands why he needs Angela Rayner there. Because she communicate in because she can communicate in ways perhaps members ways which perhaps other members of cabinet and keir of the shadow cabinet and keir starmer so there starmer himself cant. So there is a thing about, you know, theres a slight sort of roy keane element to this, that you love like on your love a person like this on your team, now and then you team, but every now and then you accept theyre going pick accept theyre going to pick up accept theyre going to pick up a yeah. Well a yellow card or two. Yeah. Well perhaps , well perhaps keir perhaps, well perhaps keir starmer should have out starmer should have come out with a, angela will be angela line, which is what, tony blair always said about John Prescott isnt it. Well, john will be john, and, and accept it for that. So its not going to wash with this, is it . No. Well, its not going anywhere, is it, owen bennett . Good to you this morning. Good to see you this morning. Thank much indeed. Thank you very much indeed. , Angela Rayner has said well, Angela Rayner has said ive repeatedly said i would welcome the chance to s
