Early and personal life

McDonnell was born the son of a docker and shopworker, both Irish immigrants. His family moved to the south of England while he was still young, where his father became a bus driver and was a branch secretary with the Transport and General Workers' Union. McDonnell attended a grammar school in Great Yarmouth, leaving at the age of 17, after which he held a series of unskilled jobs. After marrying his first wife he studied for A-levels at night school at Burnley Technical College before moving aged 23 to Hayes in Greater London to attend Brunel University. During this period he helped his wife run a small children's home in Hayes and was active on behalf of his local community and as a member of the National Union of Public Employees. After completing his Masters' degree at Birkbeck College he became a researcher and official with the National Union of Mineworkers and later the Trades Union Congress. McDonnell has two daughters from his first marriage, which ended in 1985, and a son from his second marriage.^[2][3] A Go North East bus parked in a lay-by in Tyne and Wear, England An articulated bus (or bendibus) operated by the CTA in Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Greater London Council

In 1981, McDonnell was elected to the Greater London Council (GLC) as member for Hayes and Harlington. He became the Chair of Finance, responsible for the GLC's £3bn budget, and was Ken Livingstone's deputy leader. In an interview with Ronan Bennett for The Guardian newspaper he described his role during this time as being "to translate policies into concrete realities on the ground". He went on: "I was a fairly hard-nosed administrator. We set in train policies for which we were attacked from all sides but are now accepted as mainstream: large-scale investment in public services; raising the issue of Ireland and arguing for a dialogue for peace; equal opportunities; police accountability. We set up a women's committee, an ethnic minorities committee."^[4] 1981 (MCMLXXXI) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Livingstone removed McDonnell from the post of deputy leader in 1985, shortly after they came into conflict over the GLC's budget. Margaret Thatcher's government first cut central government funding to local government and then introduced rate capping, which prevented selected councils from raising local taxation beyond a set level, as a means of reducing public spending. Encouraged by the success of Liverpool City Council, which delayed issuing a budget in 1984 until the government agreed to restore some funding cuts, twelve Labour councils which had had the cap imposed on them chose not to set a rate at all in the spring of 1985, demanding that the government lift the cap. The GLC also faced capping and McDonnell headed a campaign amongst Labour members to adopt this strategy in response although, unlike the local councils, the GLC faced a legal obligation to set a rate by mid-March. McDonnell contended that accepting the cap would lead to a reduction in spending and prevent the GLC, which had already lost all of its funding from central government, from honouring the manifesto pledges Labour had been elected on in 1981. In his book If Voting Changed Anything, They'd Abolish It, Livingstone outlines his belief that McDonnell presented exaggerated figures in order to support his proposal. Despite paying lip-service to the "no rate" campaign, Livingstone set a legal rate on schedule and this was passed by the GLC with the support of Tory members.

During the campaign, his Conservative opponent Terence Dicks sued for libel over critical material in McDonnell's campaign leaflets; McDonnell settled and paid Dicks £15,000 plus legal costs which amounted to £55,000.^[5].

In May 2003 he praised the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA), saying, "It's about time we started honouring those people involved in the armed struggle. It was the bombs and bullets and sacrifice made by the likes of Bobby Sands that brought Britain to the negotiating table. The peace we have now is due to the action of the IRA". He later said that the "deaths of innocent civilians in IRA attacks is a real tragedy, but it was as a result of British occupation in Ireland.
