They were normally from accepting the post war consensus when they regained power in 1951, though with quarter of a million less votes but a few more seats and a promise to maintain the changes largely brought in by the 1945 Attlee government. This lasted until 1979 but the real extreme stuff much more recent, for a start whatever you think of her and I was not at all a fan, Thatcher would never have accepted such a loss of British influence and economic gains with the stupidity of Brexit.
