ā€˜The elites have changed’: the Earl of Leicester on ā€˜God, King, and country’, the ā€˜venal’ Labour Party getting rid of hereditary peers from the Lords, outrageous inheritance tax reforms, and hosting the first ever attic sale at Holkham. By me today thetimes.com/article/d8189e…

We were so sorry to hear of the death of Sir Geoff Palmer. He was so helpful in advising on the revival of brewing at Traquair and even brewed here himself. (See the early bottle of Traquair House Ale!)
