Do you read it regularly? It is centre aligned but as a reader, I wouldn’t say it was Conservative aligned. It certainly is a mile off its alignment with the “Tory press” that typically set the new agenda.
- frereubu 3y agoI'm a subscriber and I'd say it is small-c conservative (which I'm not really, I just appreciate that it's relatively open about its biases and enjoy the quality of writing), but it isn't aligned with the Conservative Party, which has become almost entirely unmoored from reality.

They both work though. Both discussed in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13624175 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13624175
- simonjgreen 3y agoYes, I am a regular reader. And I didn't say Conservative with a capital C, I said conservative centre. As in, centre with a conservative angle.
- creativenolo 3y agoOk, that makes sense but wasn’t obvious. The Conservative Party, and parties on the far right parties across the world, have left conservatism behind. Something the the left and centre parties are having to take up.
