Why would Corbyn go to the Queen with a coalition government when he wants a GE?
There is clearly an anti no-deal Brexit majority in Parliament and probably in the country. There is no clear majority for any of the options on offer.
If there is to be a coalition government it won't be Corbyn led. There would be lots of volunteers to be PM, Cooper, Soubry, Starmer etc. A government of national unity (the GNU option) seems a remote option at the moment. The level of chaos would have be racked up a few more steps, maybe tomorrow.

He may as well wait, then have an actual majority (if he thinks he can win), than create a coalition with three parties who hold views which are either totally opposed, or mostly opposed, to his own WRT Brexit? Plus, Brexit would happen in the background whilst he waited for the GE, and the chaos of no-deal would possibly push a bunch of people his way - for e.g. people who would not then be voting leave or remain, as that ship would have sailed, but Labour vs Tory.
