Street briefing

[webofevil]

It’s not the content of this story that interests me—house prices to fall; and so they should—but the nature of it. Minister walking into 10 Downing Street carrying confidential briefing notes is photographed from across the street as usual, and the quality of the digital picture is so good that the first page of those notes is entirely legible:

UK house prices could fall “at best” by 5-10% this year, according to secret Cabinet briefing notes accidentally revealed by a housing minister. Caroline Flint’s notes also said: “We can’t know how bad it will get.”

The notes were photographed as Ms Flint carried them into Number 10 for a weekly Cabinet session. [BBC]

Why, were you previously leaking secret Cabinet briefings without the aid of digital photographs?

Yes. And, MPs may as well just be photographed carrying a speech into Parliament. No one will care what happens after that. Not like now.
