He helped founding anti-banker organisations in Britain, primarily in opposition to the break-up of the British Empire, and later adopting a broader anti-immigration stance.

Moving to London and marrying a Fabian socialist and pacifist, Chesterton lived near the headquarters of Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists (BUF). He took to dropping by for conversation and argument, and by late 1933 he had joined the movement. He became the director of publicity and propaganda and chief organiser for the Midlands.

Chesterton co-founded the National Front. Chesterton was leader for a short time, although he tried to keep the party free from national socialists.

Author G. K. Chesterton was his cousin.
