By 1911, Lloyd George and Churchill had forged a strong political relationship. Churchill supported Lloyd George in opposing expensive naval estimates between 1908 and 1909 and also took an active role alongside Lloyd George in bringing about the series of radical social reforms, including the People’s Budget and the National Insurance Act, which later became known as the Liberal Reforms. Lloyd George and Churchill, as Chancellor and Home Secretary respectively from 1910, were two of the most influential members of Asquith’s government. As a result, questions inevitably arose over a potential clash between the two for the future leadership of the party.
