The POD is when Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman resigned as Liberal Prime Minister of Great Britain on 3 April 1908 because of ill health. He is suceeded by Sir Edward Grey, the Foreign Secretary and a dedicated birdwatcher and fisherman, instead of Herbert Asquith, the Chancellor of the Exchequer as in OTL.

In his first cabinet appointments Grey appoints Richard Haldane, formerly Secretary of State for War, as Foreign Secretary, and keeps Asquith at the Exchequer.

The rest of the cabinet will follow later. Would Lloyd George have been a realistically possible appointment as War Secretary in 1908?

My other TL, Keeping the British Liberal Party flag flying high, is still continuing.
