Gaffe Central

Is anything going right for this Government at the moment?  The latest gaffe: Caroline Flint revealing the front page of an internal Cabinet memo on housing to waiting photographers.  They dutifully snapped an image, and now we know the Government thinks house prices will drop by around 10 percent this year.  As the Sun quite rightly points out, this could trigger a price crash all by itself. 

Anyway, thanks to Flint, you can read it for yourselves:
