Celticempire has been a rather blunt instrument in the war on "The Parties Flipped" narrative for several years, I am surprised that certain people fell for this.
Britain is actually free of this for the most part, partially because for a long time their parties shared the name of their ideology (and still do for one of them), which serves to emphasize the point that ideologies are not static applications of contemporary understanding but evolutionary organisms that adapt to match the wants and needs of their historically favored interest groups and supporters.
I am genuinely curious to see which of the UK parties you think still has the name of its ideology and which one does not.
At the end of the day, the Labour Party is still mostly the interest of Labouring classes, trade unions and what not. Simiarly the Conservative Party is the British party of conservative values.
Even extending to smaller parties, the Liberal Democrats still express small l liberal values, and the Green Party also defends environmental causes and what not. And of course stuff like Scottish National Party, "the party of Wales" and the Brexit Party write themselves
