Here's a little more from that Radio 4 Woman's Hour interview with Nicola Sturgeon.

Asked by presenter Jane Garvey whether she feels pressure as a woman campaigning in the election, she says "yes".

“Women are held to a completely different standard in politics," she says. "I actually think the case is true in many walks of life.”

She says women are often better briefed and better turned out than men have to be.

“A woman politician has to spend much more time thinking about what she wears what she looks like, what her hair is.”

“A guy has to get up and decide what colour tie he wear."

She adds: "We know what will happen to us [as women] if we slip up and fall short.”

She says Boris Johnson “deliberately ruffles up his hair to make him rakish and boyish".

"I think it makes him look ridiculous but then that's maybe my natural bias against Boris Johnson showing through.”

She also calls on Mr Johnson to be more candid about his family life. The prime minister has refused to confirm how many children he has.

Michael Gove kicks off the press conference, saying the referendum was a chance for the voices of people who were left behind to be heard.

"People voted for change, but three and a half years on, that change has still not been delivered," he says.

"People are fed up of the stagnation of the last three years," he adds.

He warns against the risk of a hung Parliament, suggesting that Jeremy Corbyn could forge an alliance with SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon.

Conservatives Boris Johnson and Michael Gove are giving a press conference in London.

They're joined by former Labour Party politician Gisela Stuart, who previously switched from supporting the EU to chairing the Vote Leave campaign for Brexit.

She now chairs the pro-Brexit group Change Britain.

The airways have been full of politicians this morning. The latest is SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, who made an appearance on Radio 4's Woman's Hour.

She says she’s hoping for a hung Parliament in the general election, but dismisses suggestions that she could prop up a Conservative government.

A hung Parliament is where no one party wins a majority - usually the largest party then tries to form a partnership with another party as a coalition government.

“I absolutely would never countenance the SNP doing anything that would allow Boris Johnson to walk through the doors of No 10," she says.

"I will do everything I can to make sure that Boris Johnson is not calling the shots on 13 December.”

Ms Sturgeon also says she would refuse offers of going into a coalition with Labour, but left open the possibility of agreements with the party.

“I'm not a great fan of Jeremy Corbyn,” she says, explaining he was not her first, second or third choice for prime minister.

She adds that Labour was "quibbling over the timetable" for a second Scottish independence referendum.

Amber Rudd, who stepped in for former PM Theresa May when she refused to do a leaders' debate in the 2017 election, has responded to a joke suggesting she could do the same for Boris Johnson.

Labour candidate Sarah Jones tweeted "where's Amber Rudd when you need her" after Mr Johnson refused to commit to an interview with the BBC's Andrew Neil.

Ms Rudd - who quit Mr Johnson's cabinet and resigned the Tory whip over the government's approach to Brexit - suggested she has other plans...

Again, showing some difference with numbers.

The prime minister was asked quite straightforwardly by the LBC presenter how many children he has.

But Mr Johnson couldn't answer that question either - or chose not to answer that question.

He said he wasn't going to put them on the pitch at this election.

But Nick Ferrari's point was this, that there were quotes in the Daily Mirror, external - dredged up admittedly from the Spectator - talking about single mothers and the fact they had raised illegitimate children, they had been ill-raised.

So the question was put why was the prime minister not telling us about whether he was involved in the lives of his own children but commenting on how other people raised theirs.

He stuck his usual position which was of course not to talk about his personal life at all.

It was a wide-ranging interview. I think it's fair to say... he's not necessarily a details man. He much prefers a bigger picture discussions.

But he was asked, since he is determined to take Britain out of the EU by the end of January, what other trade deals might be in the offing.

He didn't seem to be too sure about the exact number.

Someone said to me, is it a question of being oven-ready or does he even have the ingredients for some of the trade deals that he will have to strike?

His answer will be of course that until we're out of the European Union we don't get control of our own tariffs, so no deal can be absolutely certain.

He was also asked about other numbers as well. For example he was asked about the pledge to have 50,000 more nurses.

There was an interesting riddle. What's the difference between more and between new?

The answer seems to be 31,000, because what Boris Johnson pointed out very clearly was hat he was pledging 50,000 more nurses including 19,000 who will be retained in their current job, rather than perhaps leaving, and 31,000 new nurses.

He pointed out that he'd never pledged that all 50,000 were actually new.

Boris Johnson tells LBC that it's best if US President Donald Trump doesn't get involved in the election when he visits London for a Nato summit next week.

He says: "When you have close friends and allies like the US and the UK, the best thing is for neither side to get involved in each other's election campaign."

Mr Trump has previously made comments about Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, saying he would be "so bad" for Britain and that Mr Johnson should do a pact with Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage.

Mr Johnson adds: "Can I just remind you, one of the cardinal moments of the referendum campaign in 2016 was when Barack Obama turned up and weighed in heavily on the side of Remain in a way that wasn't entirely conducive to the good of that cause."

During the phone-in, he also discusses:

• Giving a "guarantee" to take the UK out of the EU by 31 January if he secures a "workable" majority

• Promising more investment in social care in the short term. In the long term he repeats the party line about wanting to work with other parties to find a solution
• Admitting the pledge for 50,000 more nurses amounted to 31,000 new recruits, with the other 31,000 already in the NHS

In his radio phone in on LBC, Boris Johnson defends disparaging remarks he made about single mothers, telling a voter they were made before he was "even in politics".

In a Spectator article in 1995, he described single mothers as "uppity and irresponsible" and their children as "ill-raised, ignorant, aggressive and illegitimate".

The PM is asked by caller Ruth why he was happy to criticise single mothers like her but was not prepared to discuss his own family.

He tells her that he meant absolutely no disrespect to her and the remarks were made before he was "even in politics".

He says the quotes were stripped of context and formed part of a smear campaign by Labour.

Presenter Nick Ferrari asks Mr Johnson how many children he has and whether he is fully involved in their upbringing.

He replies: "I love my children very much but they're not standing at this election. With great respect to you Nick, I'm not going to at all.

"I'm not going to put them onto the pitch in this election campaign."

The Scottish Lib Dems have pledged to "build a brighter future" at the launch of their election manifesto.

Leader Willie Rennie has committed the party to "stopping Brexit and stopping independence".

He argues the country needs to move on from "constitutional chaos" and instead focus on the "issues that really matter".

And he highlights the party's "radical, credible and progressive" plan for the country.

This morning, BBC Radio 5 Live listeners asked questions directly to Green Party co-leader Jonathan Bartley, in a special programme hosted by Nicky Campbell.

He's the latest party leader to face questions from the audience.

If you missed it, you can listen to it here on BBC Sounds.

Victoria Derbyshire

Stanley Johnson - the father of Boris Johnson - appeared on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme this morning.

Asked about a viewer's tweet calling his son "Pinocchio", Stanley Johnson replies: "Pinocchio, that requires a degree of literacy which I think the great British public doesn't necessarily have."

The presenter asks what he means by that.

"I don't want to get into that... they couldn't spell Pinocchio if they tried," says Mr Johnson.

"Well can you spell Pinocchio?" he adds.

"I think it is utterly absurd and wrong that you can read out on air a tweet coming in from one of your readers on air which calls the prime minister a liar... I think it's amazing you can do that."

Here are more of Boris Johnson's answers from his interview over on LBC.

He dismissed Labour’s claims that the NHS would be “up for sale” under a Conservative government, saying it would be "mad" to include the NHS in any post-Brexit trade deal with the US.

He says he would "simply walk out" if the US insisted on the NHS being part of talks.

Speaking on LBC radio, he said: "The NHS is not for sale and under no circumstances will this government or any Conservative government do anything to put the NHS up for negotiation in trade talks or privatising or anything like that."

Asked about how many trade deals have been done ahead of Brexit, he estimates about “a dozen” are being discussed – but he can’t say how many exactly.

He says there are a number that are “virtually ready to go” but they cannot be concluded until the UK has left the EU.

Asked whether he would prefer to be prime minister or take the UK out of the EU, he say: "I would rather have got us out of the EU.”

Jonathan Bartley, who is joint leader of the Greens, spent an hour answering questions sent in by people live on BBC Radio 5 Live. During the Q&A we learnt:

• The Greens have made moves to work with Labour - for example with electoral pacts in seats - but they got "no reciprocation whatsoever", he said. He suggested that if there was a minority Labour government, the Greens would look at how they can support Labour
• He said he could not comment on his arrest at a climate protest earlier this year, saying "there's a pending investigation"
• When asked about criticism of the climate change campaign - for example that it is too white or middle-class - Mr Bartley said the movement "needs to take [criticisms] on board" as it's the poor that will suffer most from the damage to the planet
• He faced a couple of questions on farming and said every sector - including agriculture - needed to change to tackle the climate emergency. But he said the party would ensure no money leaves farming. He added that he does not know how much the Greens' meat and dairy tax will add to individual items but it will be "pence rather than pounds" and the money will go back into farming
• On social care, he cited the Greens' pledge to spend £4bn a year in providing free personal care to over 65s, plus pledged 40,000 extra nurses
• The Greens also plan to retrofit one million homes a year with “super insulation” to make homes more energy efficient
• There will be a drive to make holidays in the UK more attractive by introducing policies such as cutting VAT on hotels, says Mr Bartley - who added that he has only flown six times in the last 10 years
• And he also explained more about the Greens' policy that the maximum wage paid to any member of staff in a organisation should not exceed 10 times of the salary earned by the lowest-paid worker. So if a footballer gets £500,000, then the lowest paid staff member would be on £50,000.

The BBC is holding other Your Questions Answered with party leaders. Sessions have already been held with the Conservatives' Boris Johnson and Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price.

While we've been hearing from Green Party co-leader Jonathan Bartley, Boris Johnson has been taking questions from LBC listeners.

He is asked why he didn't attend last night’s Channel 4 leaders' debate on climate change.

“I’ve done plenty of debates, I can’t do absolutely everything,” the PM responds.

“I’m here and I’m doing a press conference later on."

Asked about Channel 4 putting an ice block in his place during the debate, Mr Johnson says: “I didn’t see the debate but it’s notable that people have talked more about that than anything that came out of the debate – and I think that’s a shame.”

Host Nick Ferrari asks about reports that the Tories would review Channel 4’s public service broadcasting obligations.

The PM says he wants “a free, fair exuberant, unbridled media” and wants to protect the UK’s free press.

He adds that a free press was “one of the glories of our country”, adding that he wants to “protect” it.

BBC Radio 5 Live

Is being poor better for the planet than being green? That's another question directed at the Green Party's co-leader.

"No," says Jonathan Bartley. "I think, it's about recognising we can gave a great quality of life, we can all flourish in a new green low-carbon economy.

"It's often the poorest who are suffering the results of air pollution. Take the people who have to live round airports... they're the ones who can't afford to move out of the flight path."

BBC Radio 5 Live

Mark asks where Jonathan Bartley goes on holiday and how does he get there?

He says his last holiday was to Cornwall – and he went by train. He adds that he has flown six times in the last 10 years – all short haul flights.

The Green Party wants to make holidaying in the UK much more attractive, he says, by introducing policies such as cutting VAT on hotels.

“We’re not beating people over the head. We need to make the options and the choices available so we make the best choices for all of us.”

He says the Green Party will introduce a frequent flyer levy, adding that those that are “binge flying” should have their number of flights rationed.

Jonathan Bartley is asked about one of the Green Party's policies - that the maximum wage paid to any member of staff in a organisation should not exceed 10 times of that paid to the lowest paid worker in the same organisation.

Does that apply to Old Trafford?

"That applies to Manchester United, yes," says Mr Bartley.

"What we believe is if Man Utd want to pay their players a massive amounts of money, according to the 10 to one pay ratio, they need to also lift the pay of the least-paid in the club, up to less than 10 to one ratio."

He explains: "If they're on half a million a week then they should be paying, I can't do the maths...

"£50,000?" it is suggested.

"Probably is about that," says Mr Bartley. "It's about recognising that wealth inequality hurts us all."
