    There promises to be details of at least three arguments per page.
    ...only 3? obviously a "fake news" autobiography

    Tony Benn's autobiography for me....excellent....a Labour stalwart that absolutely despised and hated the EU.

    Just about to start Churchill's, The Gathering Storm....the inside cover is a great antidote to the Remoaners....

    In War....Resolution
    In defeat....Defiance
    In Victory....Magnanimity
    In Peace....Goodwill

    He's also candid about his f-up in the World Cup Final of 2010.
    I read it on holiday last year Sid have to agree I really enjoyed it. One of my favourites that Elite might like is Donald McCains of Red Rum fame.

She was probably more popular as a gallant loser than as a ruthless winner, but it details the lengths she went to to become arguably Britain's greatest ever female athlete. Instead of turning to drugs, she went through an obsessive and incredibly gruelling training plan. It was high risk and when it worked she conquered the world, when it didn't she was called a quitter. The book explains the real story.
    Richard Dunwoody and AP McCoy's were very similar in how obsessive they both were. How APs girlfriend and now wife ever put up with him is amazing.

    I've yet to write my autobiography but when I do and have read it, I'm sure it will be the best I've ever read.
