The Guardian editorial piece today begins and ends with

Liberals and leftists alike will brush off the concern about unelected hands grabbing too much political power at their peril

While I can understand Liberals being upset with political power grabs by the unelected it's not normally something that bothers the left. In my lifetime the left has, as I understand it, been particularly keen to set up as many unelected, unaccountable bodies to wield political power.

I think what the Guardian means is "unelected non-lefty-sympathising hands" but they're unlikely to make the alteration.
