You mean the “far left” Labour politicians trying their best to cosplay Tories?

Meanwhile, Reform — a populist far-right party — is clobbering everyone in the polls.

If Reform is far right then Corbyn's Labour was definitely far left. Certainly it is completely incorrect to label Farage "far right", he is nothing of the sort. Overall the most accurate description for Reform is probably right-wing populism.

You can't simply put a label "far right" on anything and everything on the right while, at the same time, claiming that everything on the left is only "mild social democracy" when similar left-wing populism exists if not, indeed, far left.
