From 1928 BWSF was essentially a wing of the Communist Party. As a result, moderate Labour Party members and unionists left the association. The BWSF soon joined the Comintern-led Red Sport International and participated in the 1928 Moscow Spartakiad. In 1930, the Labour Party and the Trades Union Congress founded the as a counterweight to the BWSF. (en)
