Sorely missed but never forgotten Mr. Benn

Hearing Tony's dulcit tones reading back his own abridged diary entries really is a great.

A politicians story

At first I did not take to this book but gave it a second chance and enjoyed it. The insights found here e.g. his experience with the queen and political life in general you don't come across every day.
