As the polls continue to show Labour gaining ground, could the biggest political comeback in modern British history really be on? Jeremy Corbyn has been pressed to articulate a plan to govern in a hung parliament – and has ruled out a coalition with the SNP.

But is a hung parliament really on the cards? And what would it mean for Brexit?

Joining Anushka Asthana are the Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee, author of Dismembered: How the Attack on the State Harms Us All, our chief leader writer, Randeep Ramesh, and the commentator and author Paul Mason.

Also this week: Bernie Sanders popped up in Brighton to offer Corbyn some warm words – but not a full endorsement.

And we hear from Corbyn supporters in Reading who are daring to dream of a Labour government on Thursday.
