Not directly in reference to your post. Maybe my understanding of what makes a policy/party right or left wing isn’t very good but I’m not sure they are well described as populists.
During the 2019 General Election the Labour Party had a costed manifesto,
because the Right Wing press always claim Labour make uncosted promises.
Johnson campaigned on 'Get Brexit Done', and hid in a fridge,
and the Right Wing press supported his populist policy-free campaign.
They also had the magic money tree to counter the costed manifesto as completely pie in the sky unattainable and have since spent way more without any of the extra tax revenue in it.
