Firstly, let me acknowledge that “hard left” isn't defined by precise syntactic rules. It's more defined in terms of what it's not, and a cluster of views around capitalism, anti-imperialism and so on. It's also pejorative. Nobody ever refers to themselves as being on the hard left. Nevertheless I do think it is a useful tool for talking about the modern Labour Party.

Anyway, here are a few:

Unilateral nuclear disarmament

Open to talks with Argentina re: Falklands sovereignty

Wants to investigate the idea of a maximum wage

Wants to investigate feasibility of banning companies from paying dividends if some extra-legal living wage is not paid

Open to keeping the vanguard subs (but with no nukes, as part of some extremely expensive job creation scheme)

Open to nationalization of steel industry

Wants to repeal law banning secondary strikes and flying pickets

Now some of these are very much at the level of “things to be investigated” rather than party policy. And in a sense, that's part of the problem. Because we have lurched from crisis to crisis (particularly regarding security and defence policy) we haven't had the chance to set out a distinctive domestic stall at policy level.

Additionally, not all of the above are necessarily indicative of being on the hard left when taken individually. Hell, some Tories countenanced temporary nationalization of steel. But it's when taken as a set, against a backdrop of various philosophical beliefs about capitalism and NATO, that they count as hard left.
