Strictly speaking, the continuity in terms of the political situation could fit. The so called "Lloyd George" liberals were a key element of the 1919-22 coalition, and in 1921 they were committed to getting better Unionist / Nationalist links up and running as part of the truce process to end the Irish War of Independence. Austen (NOT Neville) Chamberlain was an important no 2 leader in the conservative part of that coalition and he was deeply distrustful of LLoyd George in the period immediately before he became Tory coalition leader following the resignation through ill-health of his former boss, Bonar Law. So it could hang together - just.
