While embarrassing for the email exchanges to be made public by mistake they aren't particularly out of the ordinary.

That said the average reader/viewer would probably consider it overly complex I'm sure no journalist, ever, has sought to trip up a Minister by reading to them outputs from a freedom of information on television.

So while it reads juicy the reality is much more mundane.
