Great spot from @MattSingh_ - polling of Labour members quietly slipped out by the RLB campaign. Key takeaway for me is just how much, in policy terms, this is still Corbyn's party. For example...
Policies with plurality of 'strong support' (plus overall support/oppose):
Nationalising rail/mail/energy/water (91/3)
Scrapping tuition fees (84/5)
Cutting most carbon emissions by 2030 (96/1)
Cutting tax breaks for private schools (89/2)

Scrapping 'all laws that restrict the power of trade unions' (67/13)
50% income tax on £125k+ (90/3)
20:1 pay ratio (80/4)
Compensating the Waspis, 40% say strong support and 40% say support but not priority, but total ratio is 80/6

Policies which they like but aren't a priority:
Not replacing Trident (65/15)
Free broadband! (56/13)
Open selections for Labour candidates (57/12)
Abolishing private schools (48/18)
Four-day week (61/11)

In other words, even the v left-wing and v unaffordable stuff has been absorbed into the party mainstream - they've just realised you can't promise all of it at once. A reminder this is not not not Labour as we knew it even under Ed M.
