Welcome to the era of hostage politics', where Labour is apparently your only hope | Nesrine Malik
Briefly

The article criticizes the Labour government's use of scare tactics, urging voters to choose Labour to prevent a coalition with Reform and Farage. It argues this strategy sidelines necessary scrutiny of Labour's policies and achievements, labeling it 'hostage politics.' By framing the vote as a choice against chaos rather than for constructive governance, it stifles meaningful discussion about pressing issues. Critics suggest that this approach undermines democratic principles, and Labour's ability to inspire confidence is called into question amidst escalating threats of a more extreme alternative.
When voters are asked constantly to make decisions not on the kind of government they want, but the one they don't want, something is broken.
Vote Labour, stop Reform. In the meantime, there can be no discussion of Labour's record in office so far, its cutting of disability benefits, winter fuel allowance.
