"You made me love you": David Lloyd George as Chancellor of the Exchequer (1908-1915). The cartoon / caricature shows Lloyd George smiling, with a large rolled up copy of the National Insurance Act under his arm and a welfare cheque in his hand. This refers to the reforms introduced by the Liberal Party in the 1909 "People's Budget" including state welfare support for the sick, inform and unemployed, which would provide an alternative to the punitive Poor Law and workhouse system
