I was recently perusing the Lloyd George entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, and learned that there was a fairly good possibility that he (along with Sir Rufus Isaacs, the Attorney-General, Herbert Samuels, the Postmaster-General, and a few others) might have been sacked from the government over the Marconi Scandal, among some other alleged instances of sleaze and corruption.
As it happened, it came down to a partisan decision on Asquith's part, and he decided to let him stay on as Chancellor.
In the event that Lloyd George had been given the boot, what would have been the long-term implications for the Liberal Party (I imagine someone like McKenna would have been given the Treasury; I do not know how Churchill, who was Lloyd George's chief ally in the cabinet, would have reacted) and Britain's execution of the First World War?
