I would argue this current adminstration has moved quite a bit to the right. It has placated UKIP and Brexit Party members, most of whom were further right than usual Tory governments and are trying to control as much as they possibly can.

There is a centre ground in politics for the taking. Unfortunately, anything left of that is becoming marginalised. I find this strange, as left wing policies are often winners. Take the free school meals/Rashford thing for example. I find it strange that the political left are now being ridiculed, often by people who support left wing policies. It doesn't take a genius to work out why.
