Here is a little bit of background on the political situation in the UK in the lead up to the invasion. A brief comment, nothing more.

Something I noticed about British politics during the war years was the rise in popularity of socialist, communist and populist figures. From what I read there were
two particularly influential men, both leftists, one visited Russia and was a keen supporter of Uncle Joe, the other remained in the British Isles and agitated a bit, in
support of the government, but only just.

It seems that when defeats etc occured and when America was still out of the war in Europe a lot of people looked to these men and men like them for inspiration. If the British continued to sustain defeats, like they do in this timeline, then they might have gone further to the left. They did pick a Labour government after the war after all. I am not saying they would get rid of Churchill or anything like that, but it is possible that by the time the Reich (not the historical one) came knocking the government could very well have lost its support.

When the invasion comes, and it did, Churchill and co. pull out leaving the lefties behind to take the heat.
