Yes, overall it is right of centre. Socially liberal but economically conservative.
But I prefer Philip Collins, David Aaronovitch and Hugo Rifkind (all centre left) to Owen Jones and Seamus Milne* for example. And Matthew Parris if one of only about 3 Tories I'd have a drink with. So even though they have Tim Montgomerie and that awful Menalie Phillips woman, the paper is much more centrist than its readers.
*In 2014, one of Jones or Milne wrote a Graun article for the centenary of WW1. They said that GB had started the war to steal more colonies. {No mention of the Fischer Thesis or the September Programme 1914 or the 1912 War Council.} No mention that these extra colonies were tier 3 mandates (too backward to run themselves} demanded Aus and SA as their rewards.
Because GB ended up with a couple of ex-Kraut colonies, it means that GB started WW1 just to get more colonies from the innocent Hun. Disgusting.
So if they could get that wrong, how can I trust them when they write about things I have little knowledge of such as Working Tax Credits or Union laws?
btw - did you know I've had 6 or 7 letters published? I backed up Field Marshall Lord Brammel on Haig's good generalship, had a reply from a Lord Mayor and totally caned the Italian Ambassador. Good paper.
