    I don’t expect labour to be full blown left, just actually left rather than ever so slightly to the left of the Tories.

      They’re a lot left of the Tories, what do you want about? For example, they are proposing taxes on the rich, and actually doing something about climate change, pretty left leaning. Not as much as perhaps the greens or some of the independence would like, but much more than the Tories ever did, which was bugger all in both regards.

      Remember that the Tories on losing voters to hard right extremists, so some of their voter base must be extremists. Labour are not losing any votes to Reform.
