Enraged, the Liberal Party declared, “How dare these nobles be so insolent!” and passed the Parliament Act, effectively rendering the House of Lords completely powerless.

Incidentally, this People's Budget was opposed by the House of Lords, which by then had become little more than a nominal institution.

He famously declared: “We must not fear to reach into the pockets of the rich. For there lies the future of the nation.”

Could he have drawn inspiration from it? (That's a good thing.) In Lloyd George's case, he needed to expand the military budget to counter Germany's naval buildup and implement social policies to gain worker support.

And, the People's Budget—Lloyd George's early 20th-century British Liberal Cabinet's policy of taxing the wealthy and supporting the poor through health insurance and unemployment insurance—also resembles Mamdani's approach.
