Have Tory governments depleted all of our optimism – or could a Starmer government restore hope in politics? The panel discusses whether things really can only get better post-Sunak. And our special guest today is award-winning journalist Peter Kellner, who has served as president of YouGov and previously worked on BBC Newsnight. He joins the panel to discuss polls, Farage, and everything in between. And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, don’t you hate it when someone you detest puts forward an annoyingly good argument? The panel gives us their own examples.

What are the ODDS the Conservatives would be in the woeful position they are right now? How serious is this betting scandal for Sunak? Meanwhile, even though the election winner is all but confirmed, the press has to pump up the drama. What stories have been overdone and what potential drama is still to come? The panel discusses all that, plus this week's heroes and villains. (Apologies for Andrew’s sore throat. He’ll be less gravelly next time)

It’s Week Four sum-up time! There’s only 13 days to go and as the news worsens for the Conservatives their friendly papers are losing their minds. Guardian political sketchwriter John Crace takes Jacob Jarvis through the week’s highlights and many, many lowlights. Who would bet on an election date? Is “you backed Corbyn” the gotcha line the Tory press think it is? What’s Sunak’s exit strategy? And how will we come down from this epic schadenfreude binge? 

• “We often see Tetchy Rishi but in the debate he looked positively furious… Not a great look.”
• “As far as I can tell, even Telegraph readers aren’t in line with Telegraph editorial… Even they are leaning Labour.”
• “What we have here is a feeling of End of Days.”

According to Grant Shapps, Labour is in danger of winning a “supermajority” - which means literally nothing in British politics. We prefer ‘mega-landslide’, but realistically what would a win as big as is projected mean for British politics? Plus, no one is talking about Brexit in this election cycle, even Nigel Farage – WHY?! And in the Extra Bit for subscribers when it comes to the broadcast media, who’s on cue with election coverage and who just hasn’t got a clue?

In our latest Election update: If Labour are set for a massive majority, why are they still so cautious on policy? Labour’s Stella Creasy tells Andrew Harrison why the party refuses to over-promise – why Starmer won’t talk about rejoining the EU – where she stands on the controversial two-child benefit cap – plus Gaza, Sunak, Farage and how to get people believing in politics again.
