: Under no circumstances can the Sun be called a left-wing paper;

Its certainly collectivist ("we brits" and all that tribal stuff)

: the Labour Party is currently right-wing in the UK.

The typical 'left of centre mixed up economy' style government prevalent in Europe and keenly mimiced by Bill Clinton. It amuses me that people would call the labor party right wing (also read the post by Joel on the meaninglessness of 'wings', its interesting), unless they mean 'right' in the collectivist fascist sense, and it certainly appears to be that, mildly.
