Labour's draft manifesto includes more than 100 policies demanded by trade unions that are bankrolling its election campaign, The Telegraph can reveal.

A secret list of policies requested by unions obtained by this newspaper reveals huge areas of overlap with party's plan for government.

Whole chunks of Labour’s leaked manifesto appear to have been almost copied and pasted from proposals put forward by unions.

Labour promises to nationalise Royal Mail and prisons, protect Sunday trade laws, allow councils to open schools and extend freedom of information laws were all requested by the unions.
