He was educated at Holy Trinity School, Anfield and at Skerry's College, Liverpool.

1927

Cleary was appointed a Liverpool justice of the peace in 1927.

He was the councillor for Garston ward from 1927 to 1941.

1928

Cleary's victory was to last just 281 days, making him one of the shortest-serving MPs of the 20th century.

1929

A member of the Labour Party, he contested the 1929 East Toxteth by-election and fought the seat again at the general election later that year, performing creditably in a safe Conservative seat.

1931

In the 1931 general election Cleary fought the West Derby division of Liverpool.

This was a terrible year for Labour and his Conservative opponent trounced him by over 23,000 votes.

1935

In 1934, Liverpool Wavertree's Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Ronald Nall-Cain succeeded to the peerage, and Cleary was selected as the Labour candidate for the resulting by-election on 6 February 1935.

With the Conservative vote split by the presence of Winston Churchill's son Randolph as an independent Conservative candidate, Cleary won the seat with the largest swing ever recorded between the Conservative and Labour parties.

At 30% (from Conservative to Labour) it remains unsurpassed to this day.

At the general election in November 1935, he lost by almost 8,000 votes in a straight fight with the Conservatives.

1941

Cleary was made an Alderman of Liverpool in 1941 and leader of the Labour group from 1935 to 1948.

1945

He undertook lecture-tours to British Forces in the Middle East in 1945.

Later that year he married Ethel McColl.

1949

He was Lord Mayor of Liverpool 1949–50.

1955

Twenty years after losing his seat in the House of Commons, he re-entered the fray to contest Liverpool Walton in the 1955 general election.

This is the longest gap recorded of any former MP in trying to return to Parliament.

He was unsuccessful, but did obtain a small swing against the national trend.

1965

He was knighted in the 1965 Queen's Birthday Honours List and made a Freeman of the City of Liverpool in 1970.

1970

Cleary served as a director of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board until 1970.

1993

He died in Garston on 9 February 1993, aged 90.
