Mikhail Popov was able to get Asquith to have Bernice Summerfield released from jail in 1909, where she had been falsely imprisoned for the murder of Margaret Waterfield. (PROSE: Birthright)

While in 1909, the Tenth Doctor regarded H. H. Asquith a mate of his. He started to recall one "wild time" with H.H. Asquith, Dave "The Rave" Lloyd George and a leaky bottle of soda water before being interrupted by Martha Jones. (PROSE: Sting of the Zygons)

After the death of King Edward VII in 1910, Asquith and Winston Churchill of the Liberal government passed socially conscious legislation and David Lloyd George's budget advocated for the redistribution of wealth. Philip Fowler believed Britain was changing for the better. (PROSE: In Case of Emergencies)

In 1914, Alexander Shuttleworth was frustrated with the Liberal Party and wanted Prime Minister Asquith to give women the right to vote if they were at least householders. When impersonating Suffragette Constance Harding, Greeneye planned to start "blowing a few more things up" if Asquith refused to budge on a woman's right to vote. Ulstermen and Anarchists were other groups Asquith had to deal with at this time. (PROSE: Human Nature)
