I don't remember anybody questioning whether there could be far left economic policy when Corbyn was leader of the opposition so the idea that far right economics can't exist just confuses the situation.

I have always liked the political compass matrix of left to right economically and authoritarian to libertarian socially because even if you think there should be a finer nuance applied, it is at least clear what it means.
Yeah, but that does take time to implement. The govt is also investing record amounts in a socialised healthcare system. I dunno, they are definitely more 'economically liberal' than Johnsons govt, but I think that chart is well off, and putting 'far right' on the lower axis is plain wrong. It conjures up images of fascist parties etc, which absolutely were not free market economists.

Looks like it's been labelled to be shared on twitter tbh.
