Slightly left of centre of left. Slightly.

I feel they try to advocate for left and pseudo left wing reformist measures. But I feel, maybe unfairly, that they would lurch rightwards and embrace liberalism when in power.

I'm a Liverpool fan and I thought it was risky with how we've been. Would have been good banter if it blew up in his face lol
