This is a weird thing to say after pointing out the govt is quite right-wing on social issues (bar abortion). Then again, it’s hard to have any consistent opinion on this government, who might be the most politically incompetent in my lifetime. They only ever seem to try to do comms when they’re doing stuff their voters hate and are dead silent when doing actually good stuff (where was the press event for the carbon budget?).
Do they try to evidence that, or is it just “I want him to be left wing, so pretend it’s hidden?”
