THE LIBERALS AND THE FIRST WORLD WAR By Professor Chris Wrigley. Understanding the history of the Liberal Party during the First World War has been made harder by hindsight. Later Liberal decline has called into question the efficacy of Liberal ideology in wartime. The Asquith-Lloyd George split has been treated as unmendable, thereby making December 1916 a critical turning-point LLOYD GEORGE AND SPANISH FLU: IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH The recent illness of Boris Johnson has inevitably drawn comparisons with Lloyd George’s contraction of ‘Spanish flu’ in September 1918. Lloyd George was the same age as our current Prime Minister and, like Johnson, had taken over the premiership at a time of a national crisis. Lloyd George’s illness was particularly poignant. GLADSTONIAN LIBERALISM Few statesmen left a deeper and more permanent mark on British Liberalism than William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898). What secured a unique place for him in the history of Liberalism was not simply the fact that he was Prime Minister four times (1868-74, 1880-85, 1886 and 1892-94), having previously served as Chancellor of the Exchequer for most of the years between 1853 and 1866.THE LIBERAL
