I’m not from the UK, but I’ve been trying to understand more about UK politics because of the election and I’ve seen headlines saying the Starmer has been pushing the Labour party to the center.

But, as you can see in the link above, he has been a socialist his entire adult life. His cabinet looks like a mature choice with a good mix of influences, different from New Labour, but also different from Corbyn’s shadow cabinet.
