Change UK is the closest thing Westminster has today to the Democrat Party's dominant politics. Basically because the Tories have pushed so far right and Labour so far left, while both supporting the far right Brexit project, the drop-outs from the Tories - and the few Labour dropouts who were probably closer to Blair's politics - represent what is left of the UK's political landscape in the 90s and 00s. If you weigh up all their policies I expect you'd find them to be unfalteringly centrist.
This is, of course, forgetting the Lib Dems. Which everyone always does, including Pelosi apparently.

Small but interesting differences in presentation. Someone else'll find it interesting I swear
So they had their own people taking pictures from different sides, and they tweeted the ones where the tweeting party was talking. Not really a big difference.
If we're gonna be blunt then yeah. But she's seems to be taking influence from the TIG/CUKs from what she's specifically mentioned, 'the necessity of confronting anti-Semitism' and NATO - both being the only specific things which Corbyn has failed to shake off throughout his trial by fire in the media; and I doubt that she'd say it like that if she wasn't meeting up with MPs from split from Labour under Corbyn. Also note Corbyn's body language in Pelosi's photo.
Both sides are silently pushing and reinforcing their beliefs on those around them And to be frank I'm more interested in the smaller details than reading any tweet talking about how much xyz party disagrees with eachother
The GND and labour are proposing Keynesian policies which, back in the 50s-70s would have been seen centre/centre right sensible capitalist policies. That those policies are now considered far left is indicative of how far right the overton window has shifted.
These "Centrists" are rightwingers pure and simple - they use social/identitarian criticism (eg accusations of antisemitism) to attack the left wing parties, as a trojan horse for their own right wing economic policies.
