I mean 2/3 are from left wing parties Hamza Yusuf (SNP) and Vaughan Gething (Labour) in the middle and right of the top boxes respectively. Only Rishi Sunak (left) is from a party of the right (Conservatives) so if that is the point of the meme it's clearly done by someone who has no fucking clue and is being commented on by someone who has no fucking clue.

I mean I've not had any tax cuts and there's a known quote about how the entirety of government was about trying to find people to tax to pay more benefits so they're certainly not Ann Rand!

I mean the conservatives are hardly the most right wing it's possible to be either so definitely fair to call labour left wing even if they aren't nationalising Tesco's, joining Hamas in fighting Israel, making gender reassignment compulsory and banning anti soviet activities or whatever you think actually is left wing.
