Fleming Eccles (1871 or 1872 – March 1925) was a British socialist politician and trade unionist.
[2] Eccles was also a member of the Social Democratic Federation (SDF), serving as financial secretary of one of its Blackburn branches, and also on its national Executive Committee.
Through this became active in the Labour Representation Committee, for which he represented on Blackburn Town Council in 1903,[1] and also to the local Board of Guardians.
This was a two-seat constituency, and his running mate Albert Law topped the poll, but Eccles could only take fifth place and again failed to be elected.
[3] By this time, he was active in the reconstituted SDF, formed by supporters of British involvement in World War I.
