Clitherow joined the Conservative Party, and won election to Liverpool City Council in 1937. However, in 1943, he defected to the Labour Party. He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Liverpool Edge Hill at the 1945 general election, but died in office in 1947, aged 45. He had been "run down and jaded", taking an overdose of seven barbitone tablets, which was described by the pathologist as a "bold dose". A verdict of accidental death was recorded at the inquest. After his death, the by-election for his seat was won by Labour's Arthur Irvine.
