So first, let's just talk numbers here.

How bad are the predicted losses for labor?

And you and your team have been out talking to voters across the UK ahead of these elections.

Where is the outrage directed at Starmer coming from?

And could it force his resignation after all these results are tallied on Friday?

One of the most interesting parts of this election is that we could see sizable gains for these third parties.

Why is that?

And Lucy, you have much more analysis on the latest episode of Political Fix.

We'll be sure to drop a link to that in our show notes today.

Lucy Fisher, thank you so much for your time.

Thanks for having me.

Before we go, earlier we told you about commodity price hikes from the Iran war, but that's not happening with everything.

Butter prices are actually at five-year lows, and much of the world is drowning in milk.

That is because a long period of high dairy prices pushed farmers to put their cows on nutrient-rich diets—

and now they are literally milking the rewards.

But the snag is that demand isn't growing as fast as supply, and it's not like you can do much on that supply end because you can't leave the milk in the cow until markets improve.

So though you might be seeing your airline tickets and petrol prices go up, at least you will still have milk.

You can read more on the dairy dilemma and all of the stories in today's podcast for free when you click the links in our show notes.
