I'm not going to go back and see what's going on! I'm not going to go back and see what's going on! I'm not going to go back and buy a lot of money! I'm not a HSL-tunner.

What a day! HSL! HSL! HSL! Lähimaksuhelppous viehättä. I was made by Ornot in 2013.

The best shopify is that we can use to use the technology. We can use the frontend and frontend to sell the company. If Shopify is a powerhouse, it's a powerhouse. That's where things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify.

Start with the experience at www.shopify.com. of those teams and one is a woman. Dr. Suzanne Herman will be telling us about working as that sole female lead

in the World Cup. Author Alex Hyde is here to tell us about her new book set during the 90s young British artist movement called Exhibition.

It's about art, but it's also about class and women. And what's your reaction when someone takes a photo of you? Are you instantly critical of how you look?

say something derogatory about yourself. Would you only have a photo taken when you've got makeup on? Well, Kate Myers, an Australian surf and fashion photographer, wants to redefine beauty standards and how women look at themselves

by taking a series of photographs of women showing their bare-faced beauty. Have a think about how you see your face and tell me honestly this morning what your internal dialogue is, what you say to yourself about how you look when you look in the mirror.

Do you look in the mirror and love what you see? because it's your face and it tells your story. In keeping with this item, I have got no makeup on today. I felt pretty good about it by this morning

when it shaved 10 minutes off my getting ready time and I feel pretty good about it at the moment. I may regret the decision when this clip is played out on Instagram for all to see.

So I apologise for that already. Look at me already, already talking down about my face. That's not the attitude. But I will talk to Kate when we interview her

and find out what I should be saying to myself. As usual, get in touch with the programme. So many ways in which to do so. On most smart speakers, you can say Alexa,

ask BBC Sounds to send a comment. You can text the programme. It's 84844. You can also WhatsApp me on 03700 100444

and you can email the programme by going to our website at text number once again, 84844. Now, there's speculation today that the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, will become Chancellor

when the incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham announces his cabinet on Monday. The official line from Team Berman is that no decision has yet been taken. Whoever it is, that person will face quite the intray. High debt, low growth, welfare reform, defence spending

and the economic fallout from the US-Israel war with Iran, to name a few issues. So, if it is Shabana Mahmood, how might she fare and what do we know about her? Well, joining me now is Lucy Fisher, Whitehall editor for the Financial Times and host of the FT's Political Fix podcast. Lucy, welcome to Woman's Hour.

Good morning, Anita. You've been writing about all the speculation. So tell us, how likely is it that she will be Chancellor on Monday? Well, look, the FT understands, according to multiple people briefed on Andy Burnham's thinking that that is his plan. And the team have stressed that the final decision hasn't yet been made, but it feels pretty unlikely now that he would drift away from this.

Not least, I'd add, after seeing zero market reaction to the suggestion it will be Shabana Mahmood. That will be welcome to him, the idea that she will not spook the markets in any way. So they've already tested the water. So she was elected to Parliament in 2010. What do we know about her background? Well, she grew up, interestingly, for seven years in Saudi Arabia before returning to Birmingham, where she was born.

Very much steeped in the Labour Party tradition as a young woman. Her father was chairman of the local Labour Party. She went on to read law at Oxford University and, funnily enough, was in the year below Rishi Sunak at Lincoln College, then became a barrister and then joined Parliament in 2010.

one of the first female Muslim MPs at the time. And her career has really gone from strength to strength, culminating in her becoming Home Secretary in her most recent portfolio, which, of course, is one of the great four offices of state. What clues do we have about what kind of chancellor she'd be?

Well, it's a really good question. And I tell you, I have spent hours this week scouring the archives, looking for comments she may have made in the past about tax spending, growth policies. She's been markedly tight-lipped. There are hints in the past that she might be amenable to a wealth tax, which is something Andy Burnham has made clear in an interview this week that he is interested

in exploring. She's spoken in the past while in the shadow Treasury brief about her concerns about the tax gap. That's the gap between what the liabilities HMRC should collect in tax revenue and what they do collect. So she's been a key proponent of cracking down on tax avoidance and evasion. Beyond that, it really is quite a clean slate. And that has led people to think,

given her broader right of centre politics in the Labour fold, at least, that she might be a Reeves continuity sort of candidate for the role. And also that she's likely to be something of a cipher for Burnham. Without having her own sort of very comprehensive, worked out economic programme, she's likely to be quite compliant in, you know, in implementing his plans for the economy.

Yeah, well, she's seen as the, as you said, on the right of the party, he's seen as the left. So what areas do you think they most obviously agree and disagree on? Well, you know, I think they're very much both people who have their roots in place, you know, and also quite influenced by the faith in their upbringing.
