Labour are doing what Labour should be doing; destroying their enemy.

The idea, I thought, of an opposition was that it should be a
government-in-waiting, champing at the bit to get into power and do
better than the other lot.

What does it say about Labour that it is scared stiff of an election
which is the only way that could do that?

It's an utterly bizarre situation where the opposition is seemingly
unprepared to govern, unwilling to take over, and so lacking in
confidence in itself that it won't even try.
