I lived in southern Africa for some years. The sun rose on the right and set on the left - it took me ages to get used to it. I don't think I ever really did, after a liftetim of 'left to right'. Likewise, the star constellations moved the 'wrong way' round the sky.

Earth orbits around the Sun, the Sun orbits around the centre of the Milky Way, the Milky Way in turn is also moving but the scale is so huge it can't be determined whether its in an orbit or a straight(ish) line.
There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music.
