Although it's not that simple. I.E Old Labour tended to be less socially progressive but supported a bigger state. Some people on the populist right also think that way now. You also get people who want a much smaller state and are socially progressive in that the government shouldn't get involved in the personal lives of anyone.

LEFT = Support a bigger state, more government intervention and maybe more socially progressive. (As per Damien's Left Wing).

LEFT WING = LEFT + nationalise what you can; maximal governmental intervention; include migration within socially progressive policies; totally screw the rich (whoever that is defined as being). Oh - gas the Tories

RIGHT = Support a smaller state, less government intervention and maybe less socially progressive. (As per Damien's Right Wing).

RIGHT WING = ???? It's certainly not going to be RIGHT+. According to Starmer, it's anyone who supports demonstrations against the Connolly woman who tweeted something deemed to be racist in the heat of her distraught moment after the Southport murders. Even @Russ has a difficulty defining "right wing".
