The BBC couldn't have been more blatantly favoring the incumbent party in the last election. Everything from measurably giving critics of the opposition 2x the airtime of supporters to editing footage to cut out their audience booing the prime minister.
They are critical of the government sometimes (e.g. right now) but their editorial line follows what the investor owned press is saying. They havent been independently critical since their independence was curtailed after the David Kelly whitewash, IIRC.
Where they lean "left" it is by placing prominence on issues like women's rights, gay rights, veganism, pronoun politics, etc. and other "leftish" issues nonthreatening to powerful interests (a form of left https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recuperation_(politics) ). They downplay strikes and most protests (including antivaxxers).
