MPs have a standard approach to political biographies, which falls into three phases:  first, preliminary gossip about what will or won’t (always a lot more interesting) be in it; second, mildly salacious enjoyment of the usually tepid leaks and excerpts in the press beforehand; and, once the book comes out, the inevitable furtive rummaging through the index to see if they get any mentions.
