There hasn’t been an actually leftist government in the UK since Harold Wilson. Each successive Labour Prime Minister has been more and more aligned with Tory principals than genuine left leaning Labour principals both economically and socially.
The closest we’ve had would be Jeremy Corbyn but the media barons and Blairite Labour members devoted huge amounts of time and money to sabotaging him.
The SNP’s social platform could broadly be described as leftist and is certainly left of Westminster, the same could be said for Welsh Labour, but economically they’re still tied to Tory-liteism.
