The paper is at best center-left; you'll find no support for any Socialist parties, and they even make fun of Corbyn's labour from time to time. Being liberal doesn't mean 'left', either. The paper always (to my knowledge) runs "PC" articles and especially opinion pieces, but that's not restricted to left-wing sources.

It's probably best put by the first sentence: the mainstream left of British political opinion - which turns out to be almost wholly center-left, even Corbyn is a social democrat.

Indeed, they're still fairly anti-Corbyn (they think a woman should have got the job, no matter how neoliberal she might be), pro-Macron, and they were ridiculously anti-Sanders/pro-Hillary all last year (and still are when the subject comes up).
