I would say they are to the left of the previous government, because they don't want to fly asylum seekers to Rwanda. And they're substantially to the left of what American readers would consider the centre, because American politics is crazy.
I agree that they're nowhere near as far to the left as they were in the 1970s - and nowhere near as left-wing as they were under previous party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
