Liverpool 29

The Liverpool 29 councillors were 29 left-wing councillors on the Liverpool City Council who were suspended from the Labour Party group on the council in 1990 for voting against rent rises, redundancies and implementation of the Poll Tax, in breach of the Labour Party whip. They formed their own "Broad Left" group, standing independently in local elections, and also putting up Lesley Mahmood as a candidate in the Liverpool Walton by-election, 1991.
