Of course The Guardian is angry. Five years ago, pro-austerity, socially liberal, militarily hawkish globalists (and therefore, among other things, lovers of the EU) ran all three parties, and they assumed that they always would. But now, there are only two parties, and people like that are not running either of them.
They will get the Labour Party back soon enough, as if anyone would want that anymore. And both parties are socially liberal. But this Government is economically to the left of the last Labour manifesto, it is in any case electorally dependent on seats that had voted for Jeremy Corbyn when Labour had still been pro-Brexit, and it is no more likely to launch a war than he would have been. So yes. The Guardian is very, very, very angry, indeed.
