Britain's ruthless paparazzi just photographed another top-secret document as Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell walked out of a meeting.

The Daily Mail has more:

Andrew Mitchell was photographed clutching a confidential briefing paper saying Hamid Karzai's decision to step down would improve the country's prospects 'very significantly'.

In a humiliating blunder the International Development Secretary inadvertently displayed the file, marked 'Protect – Policy', as he left a meeting at No?10.

Daily Mail also has photos.

Previously assistant commissioner Bob Quick was photographed with sensitive terror documents, as have other UK politicians.
