It's a bit of both I think.
Definitely left in terms of public spending - they've just abandoned any concept of fiscal prudence (which I think was the correct thing to do here).
But right in terms of authoritarianism, approach to foreign aid, holding govt to account, cultural issues.
Sadly a lot of our country likes the "be a c*nt but spend money on us" approach.

British sociey has just had the largest spoonful of non-wartime Socialism,
being 'paid' to sit at home,

Who else were the brexit voters of Hartlepool going to thank for this largesse, and 'getting Brexit done', especially as the Labour candidate had no incumbency bonus.
