The view from the balcony at the first Scottish leaders election debate in Paisley. This election matters not just because who runs Scotland matters but because the vote here could make or break the leadership of the big UK political parties. It’s the biggest election in the biggest set of elections before the next general election. I’ll be presenting @BBCRadio4 from Glasgow tomorrow.

Just been speaking to Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister @SKhatibzadeh who has told @BBCr4today that the US cannot have its cake & eat it. Trump must choose between a ceasefire & allowing its ally Israel to continue the war in Lebanon

"I think of the moon kind of as a training ground for going to Mars." Dr Nicky Fox, from Nasa's Science Mission Directorate and who previously guest edited #R4Today, talks about the Artemis II lunar mission and the experiments taking place on board.

"Is there anybody else you know in your life who has had 28.9% over the last three years?" @bbcnickrobinson presses Dr Jack Fletcher, from the BMA, on previous pay increases and the planned industrial action by resident doctors over a pay dispute with the government.

Simple answer Zack. Our job is to report. We interview you & those you quote who use the word genocide. We do the same for those who disagree. We also report that no international court has yet made a judgment. Nor has the UN. That’s not me or the BBC taking sides or downplaying what’s happened in Gaza. It’s doing our job.

Amnesty International say what is happening in Palestine is a genocide. The UN Special Rapporteur say it's a genocide. Countless genocide scholars say it's a genocide. How are we still doing this? And why is the BBC doing this? youtu.be/Es_wxH04bgs?si…

Some goal this … commentary pretty good too ⚽️

@robjlinds @BBCPolitics Did you watch a one minute clip before making a judgement and commenting or listen to the full 50 minute interview ?

@BBCPolitics @bbcnickrobinson Nick Robinson would spend an entire interview with Ghandi asking him if he thinks he'll win the Nobel Peace Prize.

I want to be in a position where Green Party could "potentially hold the balance of power" at the next general election, Zack Polanski tells @bbcnickrobinson Listen to the latest #PoliticalThinking on BBC Sounds 🎧 bbc.in/4uHnxbq

@ColinParryPeace @AndyBurnhamGM You & Wendy have shown courage, grace and extraordinary empathy ever since that day Colin. It was one of the honours of my life to work with you both when you made a @BBCPanorama film exploring the conflict which robbed you of your son.

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the day the IRA bombed Warrington town centre and killed my son Tim and 3 yr old Johnathan Ball. Words can never describe how losing a child leaves a huge hole in your heart and your family. Eternal love Tim ❤️❤️

@BBCr4today You can watch an edited version of @ZackPolanski's Political Thinking interview on @bbciplayer or listen in full to an unedited 50 minutes or so on @BBCSounds shorturl.at/EkFRW

Does Zack Polanski have ambitions for the top job in politics? The Green Party leader tells @BBCNickRobinson it's 'definitely' on his mind but his immediate focus is to have enough MPs to hold the balance of power. Listen to Political Thinking: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

What shapes the political thinking of those who shape ours? That’s the question I explore with @ZackPolanski on Political Thinking. We discuss his roots, his values & the events which made him the first Green leader to talk about becoming PM. Listen now is.gd/jXNMfA

Can @ZackPolanski be PM? Listen to my 50 min conversation with the Greens “storyteller” - on the traumas that made him change his names & his conversion from being a supporter of austerity & Zionism …and breast enlargement through hypnotherapy. Plus more is.gd/jXNMfA

We should do more in a war we’re in whether we like it or not @KemiBadenoch argues. What more ? I tried to find out this morning on @BBCr4today

This is clearly not a limited, small scale, tactical strike against Iran. Donald Trump’s video statement makes clear that bombs will fall everywhere. He is calling on people to rise up against the regime, offering immunity to those who abandon it & certain death to those who don’t. He warns of American casualties @realDonaldTrump/116147082884192486" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…

What’s the argument for a military attack on Iran? I spoke to @omid9 who’s posted accounts of the brutal crackdown on protesters by the regime on Political Thinking. We talk about the protests, regime change, his upbringing & his life as an actor & comic is.gd/UCJCIB

It has begun. Listen to @BBCr4today for latest on US/Israeli military attacks on Iran

Is @RishiSunak English? Of course he says BUT does @Nigel_Farage agree? I ask him on Political Thinking because @GoodwinMJ - the man Farage wants to join him in Parliament - says “People can identify as British and indeed English in terms of nationality but many (eg Rishi Sunak) are not English in terms of ethnicity." Farage talks about "putting our own people first” but is reluctant to define what he means by "our people". He says what matters is how you feel not your DNA. This matters if @reformparty_uk are to ever take power. Hear our conversation about identity, integration & racism; whether he's a Thatcherite or a Corbynite; Broken Britain, Trump, Putin & being "half ready" for government on @BBCSounds bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Radio is special. So too is the BBC. And @BBCSteveR is very special indeed. Listen and enjoy
