Morrison was involved at with both the British Movement (BM) and the National Front (NF) during the 1970s (he published two newsletters, both called British News, during the period; the first supported the BM and the second, for a time, the NF)^[1], although he soon became associated with John Tyndall and followed him into the New National Front in 1979 and from there into the newly formed British National Party in 1982.

Following his leaving the BNP Morrison spent a short time in the notoriously violent National Democratic Freedom Movement (a minor group which ended when its founder, David Myatt, was jailed) before setting up his own group, the National Action Party. The NAP was a minuscule group and Tony Malski (now disappeared from the political scene) claimed that Morrison was out of his depth and had sought to merge the NAP into his own National Socialist Action Party. After the NAP ran out of steam, Morrison was readmitted to the BNP in the late 1980s and became regional organizer for Yorkshire, revitalising the party right across the North of England, especially when he organised the now notorious Dewsbury open air mass rally which is credited by many observers with putting the BNP on the map. David Myatt David Wulstan Myatt (born 1950), also known as Abdul-Aziz ibn Myatt, is a British neo-Nazi and Islamist, and author of numerous pamphlets and articles advocating neo-Nazism, Islamism, occultism, and what he calls The Numinous Way of Folk Culture. ...

Morrison returned in the late 1990s and rejoined the NF, rebuilding the local party group in Yorkshire after years of decline. However the NF leadership soon became distrustful of the power base Morrison was building up until in 2002 he led the Yorkshire NF away, initially under the name of Aryan Unity. This group was soon renamed the White Nationalist Party and Morrison became one of its leading members until yet another split occurred and he again broke away with his followers. This time Morrison formed the Spearhead Support Group (soon shortened to Spearhead Group) and again linked up with Tyndall to support his attempts to regain leadership of the BNP from Nick Griffin. When progress was not made, Morrison suggested to Tyndall that he give up on the BNP altogether and form his own party, but Tyndall was not ready. Morrison however decided that this was the best course of action and, breaking with Tyndall, set up the Nationalist Alliance in 2005 in the hope that Tyndall would lead it eventually. After enduring a torrid few months as leader of the NA, Morrison, along with John G. Wood, left the NA and reconstituted their followers as the British Peoples Party a group of which Morrison is currently National Advisor with Kevin Watmough as National Leader, which now seems to be establishing itself as a small but growing challenger to what it sees as the 'liberal' BNP.
