T. R. Threlfall

Thomas Robert Threlfall (6 October 1852 – fl.1932),[1] known as T. R. Threlfall, was a British trade unionist and Liberal-Labour politician.

Threlfall was elected as a member of the Southport Town Council, and as President of Southport Trades Council.[2] He was also active in the Typographical Association, and championed the idea of working men standing for election to Parliament. In 1885, he persuaded the Association to sponsor two candidates: Frederick Maddison, and Threlfall himself,[3] who stood for the Liberal Party at the 1886 general election in Sheffield Hallam.[2]

In 1885, the Trades Union Congress (TUC) was held in Southport, and Threlfall was elected to serve as its President.[4] At the following congress, he convinced the TUC to form a Labour Electoral Committee, to sponsor candidates for election to Parliament.[5] He served as the body's first Secretary, and focused his activity on forming local labour electoral organisations, affiliated to the national body. The Committee was renamed as the "Labour Electoral Association",[6] and although it championed representation through the Liberal Party, it did sponsor Keir Hardie's independent candidacy at the 1888 Mid Lanarkshire by-election.[7]

Threlfall stood for Parliament again, as a Lib-Lab candidate, in Liverpool Kirkdale at the 1892 general election, but he was again unsuccessful.[8] Given its generally disappointing results, the body declined in importance, although Threlfall remained its Secretary until it was wound up, in 1895.[9]

Threlfall was subsequently appointed as a magistrate in Southport.[10] He also took up literature. The Sword of Allah, published in 1899, was described by the Saturday Review as an "illiterate shocker",[11] and The Strange Adventures of a Magistrate was published in 1903.[12] In 1900, he wrote an article for The Nineteenth Century, in which he proclaimed that the Senussi would lead a holy war against Britain and France.[13] He applied unsuccessfully to the Royal Literary Fund in 1914 and successfully in 1929 and 1932.[14]
