"Put it there": David Lloyd George as Chancellor of the Exchequer (1908-1915). The cartoon / caricature shows Lloyd George smiling and holding out a large hand in the direction of the viewer. This refers to the increase in taxation to fund the "People's Budget" and reforms proposed by the Liberal Party, including state welfare support for the sick, inform and unemployed, which would provide an alternative to the punitive Poor Law and workhouse system
