George Francis Johnson (1872–1958) was a British socialist politician who devoted much of his life to the Independent Labour Party (ILP).
He trained as a scientific instrument maker, then became a schoolteacher in Norwich in about 1900, focusing on teaching practical skills.
Johnson opposed this approach, instead working with John Middleton Murry on a manifesto which proposed an independent trajectory for the party.
They ultimately triumphed, and from 1934, Johnson served as the division's representative on the party's National Administrative Council (NAC).
[3] Johnson was made an alderman on the city council in 1939,[3] and was selected by the ILP as its Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Norwich at the next election, although due to World War II, this was not held until 1945, by which time the party had decided not to stand in the seat.
