The Guardian has not been left-wing for at least 6 years, if not 20. They repositioned when Blair did. And if you call Blair left-wing, I'll cry :)


The are left wing in the identity politics sense. Ridiculously so.


I guess you could read it like that. In my view, those are "big-tent issues" who can easily switch allegiance, as they did in 2010 (when a lot of votes moved to the Lib Dems on this or that narrow policy position). The main left-right discriminant for me remains the approach to structural economic issues, and on those the Graun clearly decided to give up in the Blair years. But I see your point.
