Apparently, this is (used to be,) the same in the US, for when JRB wrote "In the latter sense it is used particularly in politics.", he probably meant the last word in the list given at the beginning of the definition: "Gloomy, severe; extreme, ultra."
Not being a native speaker, I have no doubt that you understand nuances, or even just can feel without always being to explain them.
Thanks for your input.
