[2] In 1934 Moran was sent by Oswald Mosley to south Wales due in large part to his mining background, following advice from J. F. C. Fuller that the BUF should target areas by sending organisers that the local population could identify with.
In what was a safe Labour seat, Moran campaigned on a platform calling for an immediate peace with Nazi Germany, a policy which saw him win only 151 votes (1.0%).
[7] Following the first round of Defence Regulation 18B internments Moran, whom Diana Mosley continued to pay a wage to, took over as effective leader of the BUF.
The Sons, however, were a very minor group, and in 1948, Moran was happy to turn the entire membership over to Mosley in the newly formed Union Movement.
[11] Moran remained a leading member of the UM until the late 1940s and left around the same time as fellow BUF veteran Mick Clarke.
