This version of Labour has been against the left of their own party and trying (unsuccessfully) to court the right. They would call it centrist "practical" "adults in the room" or whatever, while those 'left' behind simply see it as a slide to the right. It looks like they want to be more like the Democrats in the US who are roughly where the UK conservatives used to be before everything shifted rightward. (Of course left/right is a simplification we can substitute ordinary folk vs vested interests).
