Rate-capping rebellion

Map showing councils involved in the rebellion.

Liverpool Town Hall, headquarters of the city council and focus for some of the public campaigns it led over Government grants.

John McDonnell, finance chair of the GLC, led its campaign against rate-capping.

Ken Livingstone, leader of the GLC, was initially supportive but came to believe capping would not harm GLC spending plans.

The rate-capping rebellion was a campaign within English local councils in 1985 which aimed to force the Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher to withdraw powers to restrict the spending of councils. The affected councils were almost all run by left-wing Labour Party leaderships. The campaign's tactic was that councils whose budgets were restricted would refuse to set any budget at all for the financial year 1985–86, requiring the Government to intervene directly in providing local services, or to concede. However, all 15 councils which initially refused to set a rate eventually did so, and the campaign failed to change Government policy. Powers to restrict council budgets have remained in place ever since.
