Now we are getting somewhere. So it is not impossible a British leader would at least hold some preliminary talks (probablly secret) with Germany, and that might lead to real negotiations. The alternate would be rejection of imeadiate peace talks, but a less focused or cohesive government continuing the war.
In either case what changes when Germany attacks the USSR in 1941?
