Any other business Asquith versus Lloyd George On 7 December 1916, H.H. Asquith was replaced as Prime Minister by David Lloyd George. The resulting split between the two leaders left the Liberal Party divided until the end of the war and beyond. The party fought the next two general elections as two separate groups and the reunion that finally came, in 1923, was, in Asquith’s words, ‘a fiction if not a farce’. Was the split between Asquith and Lloyd George caused by their contrasting personalities, or by substantive disagreements over management of the war? Or did their rivalry reflect deeper divisions between different Liberal traditions? Join David Laws and Damian Collins MP to discuss the causes and consequences of the Asquith–Lloyd George rivalry.
