And the former Bete Noire of all politicians was Jeremy Paxman (remember his grilling of Michael Howard where he asked him the same question again and again but never got a satisfactory answer) who has also since retiring admitted that he is a one nation tory.

Andrew Marr is more left leaning I think but probably centre left rathe than a reral left winger. Describes himself as a raving lefty when in University but has undoubtedly modified his views since then. Even though I quite like him as an interviewer, I don't think he holds politicians feet to the fire as much as the three above.

Are there any more left wing interviewers who also hold both sides to account in the same way?

The only one I can think of is Eddie Mair. Very good interviewer who tore Johnson apart calling him a “nasty piece of work” to his face.
