Wikipedia description:

The Social Democratic Federation (SDF) was a British socialist political party. The first socialist party in Britain, it was founded by H. M. Hyndman in 1881. Its members included William Morris, George Lansbury, James Connolly and Eleanor Marx. Many of its early leading members had previously been active in the Manhood Suffrage League. The SDF battled through defections of its right and left wings to other organisations in the first decade of the twentieth century before uniting with other radical groups in the Marxist British Socialist Party from 1911 until 1920.
