Thanks, nice summaryIt’s a centre-left paper and has always been a leftist paper since it was founded in the 1820s (as the Manchester Guardian initially, subsequently changing its name).
It’s provided the only continuous, significant mainstream leftist voice in the UK since it was founded (in opposition to the majority of the mainstream UK broadsheets and tabloids which have always been conservative, right of centre papers).
Squires‘ politics from what I’ve seen has been in keeping with that political stance.
