IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 12 February
1910 that the Prime Minister, Arthur Balfour met with King Edward VII in
Brighton in the aftermath of the General Election resulting in a hung
parliament. The country was split over a budget that introduced higher
taxes on the wealthy to fund the welfare state, moves to reduce the
power of the House of Lords, and Irish Home Rule. With support from the
Labour party, the Liberals managed to stay in power, but there would be
another election at the end of the year and another hung parliament.
