If you are speaking about the UK's Labour party, in it's current form I would describe it as further left than the US democrats, but further right than the actual left wing parties like the Greens, Your Party and Bernie Sanders (and any other tiny socialist groups).
To me, that means center-right generally. Fully right on certain issues such as immigrants and trans rights.
Before Kier Starmer and Labour Together, I think they were center-left. Many people within the party are still trying to do good things and vote against Labour's worst policies.
The reason I hate Labour even more than the Conservatives is at least with the Conservatives you knew what you were getting. Here it feels like betrayal.
As a yank, god I feel this. Democrats will stab you in the back with their god damn 'solidarity' pronoun pins and smile and blame you for being too 'radical and fast' in asking for basic human rights. Fuck 'em all.
The current Labour Party, under Keir Starmer, are socially more right-wing than David Cameron's Conservatives were - though not as far to the right as the procession of ghouls who followed Cameron.
